These are fires reported to U.S.municipal fire departments and so exclude fires reported only to Federal or state agencies or industrial fire brigades. Fires,civilian deaths and civilian injuries are rounded to the nearest one and property damage is rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. Sums may not equal totals due to rounding errors. Property damage figures have not been adjusted for inflation. Percentages are calculated on the actual estimates,so two figures with the same rounded-off estimates may have different percentages. Fires in which the type of material first ignited was unknown or not reported were allocated proportionally among fires with known type of material first ignited.
