Unintentional Fire Death Rates by State 2003-2007

Thought this might be usefull for some.

Interesting When you look at the death rates in the states there does not seem to be a correlation with building and fire code enforcement. Rhode Island

which I believe has good code enforcement is just as high as some of the states that had little or no statewide code enforcement. However California and Colorado are about even and a lot of areas in Colorado do not enforce building codes.

Tennesee was the most interesting one to read

Where are the majority of deaths happening

California, Colorado, Hawaii, Massachusettes, Wyoming and Utah the lowest.

Rhode Island, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missisippi, Louisiana and Alabama the highest

Tennessee was high but with explanation

Tennessee’s 2003-2007 average fire death rate (23.7) was second highest in the U.S. Tennessee’s own analysis has shown that its fire death rate, based on victim’s place of death, is inflated by neighboring states using their excellent medical facilities. Analysis by victim’s state of residence would shown them as having the sixth highest fire death rate.

Interesting that Wyoming is among one of the lowest with most of the state completely unregulated.

Also included are numbers and ranks for several risk factors correlated with higher fire death rates, including smoking, poverty, lacking 12 years of school, and living in a rural area.

Regulation does not appear to be a major correlation with fire deaths.

It would be interesting to see how much education by the local fire department has to do with the number of fire deaths.

I think age of the home may have a lot to do with it

I am sure the RI numbers were skewed by the Station Nightclub fire....for this sampling of time....
