A sharp increase in the number of fires and fire deaths takes place every fall and winter. Space heaters, electric blankets, and fires in wood burning stoves and fireplaces are just a few of the causes of these fires. Public fire departments responded to 1,318,500 fires in 2018, meaning a fire department responds to a fire every 24 seconds. They respond to a structural fire every 63 seconds, and a home fire occurs every 87 seconds.
Home fires were responsible for 11,200 civilian injuries and 74% of fire deaths.
While the statistics are getting better, fire is still a high cause of injury and death. Arkansas averages 66 deaths per year by fire and Oklahoma averaged 70.
