Home Fire Facts & Figures Taken from National Fire Protection Association

• Eighty-five percent of fire deaths occur in the home (one-or two-family dwellings, apartments or manufactured housing). 72% of all fire deaths result from fires in one- and two-family dwellings, including manufactured homes.
• In 2000, there were 368,000 home fires in the United States, resulting in 3,420 deaths, 16,975 injuries and $5.5 billion in direct property damage.
• Home fire deaths have fallen 34% from 5,200 in 1980 to 3,420 in 2000.
• The statistics below are based on annual averages for the five-year period from 1994 through 1998:
  • Half of all home fire deaths resulted from fires that were reported between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Only one-fourth of the home fires occur during these hours. 
  • January was the peak month for home fire deaths. February ranked second, and December was third.
  • Smoking was the leading cause of home fire deaths overall, but in the months of December, January and February, smoking and heating equipment caused similar shares of fire deaths. Cooking was the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries year-round. 
  • Although children five and under make up about 9% of the country's population, they accounted for 17% of the home fire deaths, assigning them a risk twice the national average. Adults 65 and older also face a risk twice the average, while people 85 and older have a risk that is almost four-and-a-half times more than average. 
• Only one-fifth of the home fire deaths from 1989-1998 were caused by fires in which a smoke alarm was present and operated. 
• Most fatal fires kill one or two people. In 2000, 18 home fires killed five or more people. These 18 fires resulted in 99 deaths, accounting for 3% of all home fire deaths.
