- Abstract
- This report provides statistics on home fires involving separate pumps and compressors. In 2002-2005, an estimated 240 non-confined reported home structure fires per year involving pumps or compressors caused an estimated $4 million per year in direct property damage. These estimates are based on data from the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA's) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA's) annual fire department experience survey.
