The Residential Fire Injury Pyramid
The injury pyramid is a commonly used model in order to illustrate the relationship between non-injurious events and fatal events, as well as the various injury-levels in-between. From a residential fire perspective, there is also the added aspect of whether fires are attended to or not. In practice, this means that the understanding of the residential fire problem is often understood merely from the perspective of fatal fires that are attended to by rescue services. However, as will be seen in this chapter, merely focusing on these incidents and the risk factors associated with these fires or victims produces a distinctly skew view of the residential fire problem. As such, it is important to attempt to assess and understand the entire residential fire injury pyramid.
