- This statistical summary report contains data extracted from 744 accident reports which indicated that fire was involved in the accident.

Motor carrier manufacturers and suppliers may find these data useful in their research and development programs. This report is divided into two parts. Part 1 contains 11 tables relating to 729 property carrier accidents which involved fire. These accidents resulted in 132 fatalities, 309 injuries and $7,831,728 property damage. Part 2 contains 8 tables relating to 15 passenger carrier accidents which involved fire. These accidents resulted in 2 fatalities, 18 injuries and $122,350 property damage.
