Overall Trends
Overall trends for nonresidential building heating fires and loss for the 10-year period of 2010 to 2019 show the following:
- A 6% increase in fires.
- A 25% 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.
