Interventions to Prevent Residential Fire Injury

  • Chapter
Handbook of Injury and Violence Prevention

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reported 402,000 residential fires in 2003, resulting in 3,165 deaths and incurring $6,074,000,000 in property damage (Karter, 2004). This represented an increase of 17.4% in residential fire deaths compared to 2002, although the overall number of fires and property losses did not increase. Residential fire deaths have been declining steadily since the late 1970s, with a relative plateau since the early 1990s. Smoking materials are the leading cause of fatal residential fires (20%), with 40% of smoking-related fire victims being older than 65 years of age (Hall, 2004). Cooking is the leading cause of residential fires and nonfatal injuries (Hall, 2005). Despite 96% smoke alarm prevalence for U.S. homes with a telephone in 2004, 40% of residential fires still occur in homes without a smoke alarm, and among homes with alarms, 25% are not functioning at the time of the fire. In 1999–2001, an average of 70% of residential fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with either no smoke alarms or in which no smoke alarm sounded (Ahrens, 2004). Nearly every high-risk group for residential fire fatality is less likely to install smoke alarms, including the poor, seniors, heavy drinkers, households with less than high school education, and those in rural areas and in the Southern United States (Ahrens, 2004; Hall, 1985; Hall, 1994).
