Multiple-Fatality Fires. U.S. Fire Administration Topical Fire Research Series, Volume 2, Issue 11, November 2001 (Rev. March 2002)

摘要

From 1996 to 1998, an average of 450 fires resulted in multiple fatalities. On an annual basis, these fires were responsible for an estimated of 1,215 civilian deaths, 325 civilian injuries, and $31 million in fire loss. This report examines the causes and characteristics of these multiple-fatality fires and, in several cases, compares them with single-fatality fires.
