fire statistics

Fire statistics track data on fire incidents, causes, injuries, and property damage to understand trends and improve prevention efforts. They reveal how often fires occur, common sources like cooking or electrical issues, and which areas are most affected. These statistics help fire departments allocate resources, develop safety campaigns, and shape policies to reduce fires and save lives. By analyzing patterns over time, authorities can identify risk factors and implement targeted measures, ultimately aiming to decrease the frequency and severity of fires in communities.
