The Canadian and U.S.A. fire loss statistics for apartment and office buildings were analyzed to obtain infomation on fire incidence rates, fire types, death rates and fire department response times. This information was obtained to provide input to, and partly for validation of, the riskcost assessment model for application to highrise buildings.

Fire loss statistics at the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office in Toronto were retrieved to find relevant data for the risk-cost assessment model which is being developed at the National Fire Laboratory. The risk-cost assessment model is a computer model that can be used to assess the cost effectiveness of fire safety provisions in highrise buildings. Statistical data needed include the probabilities of fire starts: the types of fire; the effectiveness of alarm and sprinkler systems in saving lives; and the response and set-up time of fire departments. The determination of set-up time was carried out in a separate study through collaboration with Ontario fire departments. The present report documents and discusses the findings of these two studies.
