- Abstract
- This report is based on two different data sets: data on fire incidents from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Six years of mortality data (1983-1988) and three years of NFIRS data (1993-1995) serve as the basis for the findings in this report.
