FIEP webinar on Fire Statistics

The EUfirestat project will be highlighted, which aimed to map existing fire data collected across Member States and propose meaningful data sets to inform legislative decisions on fire safety at both the Member State and EU level. The 17-month project was carried out by a consortium of well-known international fire safety institutions. The role played by fire statistics and the challenges and benefits of their application towards improved fire safety will be discussed. The challenges with the impact of fire investigation results on fire statistics will also be examined. The data fire collection system in Sweden and a collaborative platform on fire statistics in Austria will be presented. Last but not least, valuable lessons learned from 40 years of fire data collection in the USA will be shared.

This session will provide valuable insights into the importance of fire statistics and their role in informing and improving fire safety decisions. We look forward to an engaging and informative discussion.
