What can 1.5 million fires tell you about fire risk?

What can 1.5 million fires tell you about fire risk? It turns out, quite a lot:

• Did you know that 10% of reported fires in commercial occupancies happened in locations that had a fire in the last ten years? One type of occupancy had a huge 26% of reported fires occurring in locations that had a fire in the last ten years - get the Little Book of Fires to find out which occupancy.

• Did you know that reported fires in 1-2 family homes decreased by 20% from 2019 to 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic? See how much they have sprung back in 2022 in the Little Book of Fires.

• Did you know that ZIP code 29577 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina had the highest frequency of reported hotel fires, and ZIP code 48219 in Detroit, Michigan had the highest frequency of reported restaurant and bar fires?

We have these insights and more in the first annual Little Book of Fires. We created this book by analyzing 1.5 million fire events, as reported by fire departments around the U.S., to help commercial property, BOP and homeowners carriers with insights for profitable growth.
