John R. Hall, Jr., August 2005
Cost: $25.00. 74 pages. Order # USS30
Four property classes account for the majority of high-rise fires: office buildings, hotels, apartment buildings, and hospitals (and other facilities that care for the sick). In 2002, high-rise buildings in these four property classes combined had 7,300 reported structure fires and associated losses of 15 civilian deaths, 300 civilian injuries, and $26 million in direct property damage. Automatic fire protection equipment and fire-resistive construction are much more common in high-rise buildings that have fires than in other buildings of the same use that have fires. The risk of death in a high-rise apartment or a high-rise hotel is lower than in fires occurring in non-high-rise apartments or hotels.
This report provides an overall statistical perspective on the fire experience in high-rise buildings, including analysis and discussion of risk in high-rise vs. other properties.
