Restaurant Fires. Topical Fire Research Series, Volume 4, Issue 3, October 2004
Restaurants pose unique fire risks as they gather potentially large numbers of customers at one time, while engaging in cooking activities that inherently pose the risk of fire. This topical report examines the causes and characteristics of reported restaurant structure fires in 2002 and compares such characteristics with those of all non-residential structure fires. There were an estimated 7,100 fires in 2002, resulting in an estimated 108 injuries and $116 million in property loss. Although this report contains no estimates of deaths from restaurant fires for 2002, the potential for fire fatalities exists in any building or property where people congregate.
