National Estimates
The 2019 national estimates for nonresidential building cooking fires and loss show that there were:
- 33,200 fires.
- $59,600,000 in dollar loss.
Overall Trends
Overall trends for nonresidential building cooking fires and loss for the 10-year period of 2010 to 2019 show the following:
- A 39% increase in fires. This increase may be due to an NFIRS coding edit implemented in 2012.
- A 16% increase in dollar loss. (This overall constant dollar-loss trend takes inflation into account by adjusting each year's dollar loss to its equivalent 2019 value.)
Deaths and injuries by individual causes are not shown, as small numbers of nonresidential building casualties are reported to the NFIRS, and a large number of the fires that caused these casualties have insufficient information to determine fire cause.
