- Abstract
- How many injuries and deaths does out nation experience annually from fires in private homes? What are the characteristics of fires in which fire fighters sustain injury? Do sprinklered inductrial properties have less property damage from fire than nonsprinklered properties of similar fire risk and fire loading? Questions such as these, and the absence of accurate data to provide answers, have spurred the development of the National Fire Data System (NFDS).
