Fires in the U.S.

Households can expect to average a home fire every 15 years or five fires in an average lifetime. (Life expectancy now averages 78 years in the U.S., according to the Statistical Abstract.) That is one of the results of the latest survey of unreported fires, conducted by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, when combined with NFPA’s annual tracking of reported fires.

Each year there are more than 1,300,000 fires reported in the United States. These fires caused $10.6 billion in property damage. 475,500 were structure fires causing $7.9 billion in property damage.

The U.S. fire loss clock a fire department responds to a fire every 24 seconds. One structure fire was reported every 66 seconds.

• One home structure fire was reported every 90 seconds.
• One outside and other fire was reported every 48 seconds.
• In communities with less than 5,000 population, the frequency of fires per thousand population is higher
