Box 149221, Austin, Texas 78714-9221 512-305-7900 • 512-305-7910 fax • www.tdi.texas.gov Dear Fire Professional: For 29 years, the State Fire Marshal’s Office, through the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System, has published fire summary reports to help understand the fire problem and how it impacts our state and its citizens. This copy of the Fires in Texas is published with that goal in mind. The injuries, loss of life and property damage resulting from all fires remains a source of great concern to us all. In 2010, 1,034 Texas fire departments reported 1,565,455 fire and non-fire incidents to the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS). During the year, these departments responded to 76,781 fires, a fire occurring every seven minutes. As a result of these fires, 175 civilians lost their lives, 791 civilians were injured and $510,113,505 in property loss was realized.
Residential structure fires were responsible for 65% of the reported fire-related civilian deaths, of which 24% were age 65 or over.
The cooking area was identified as the most frequent area of origin in residential structure fires again this year.
Incendiary/suspicious was the most frequently identified known cause in all fatal residential structure fires.
Fire Cause was not identified or known in 43% of all residential structure fires and in 65% of all residential structure fires involving civilian deaths.
The data collected through TEXFIRS can help us determine areas at risk and target effective prevention programs. Two safety initiatives incorporated into our SFMO prevention efforts are We’re out to Alarm Texas and Have an Exit Strategy. The We’re out to Alarm Texas program installs smoke detectors in the homes of elderly and low income Texans most vulnerable to fire loss. The Have an Exit Strategy program urges people to practice fire escape planning by learning at least two ways out of any room or building. I appreciate the efforts of fire departments actively participating in TEXFIRS reporting. This annual report would not be possible without your dedication and commitment to prevention. I call upon you to join me in promoting fire safety throughout your community. With your help, I know we can reduce fire loss in our state and make it a safer place for everyone. Don’t hesitate to call our office if I can assist you with your fire safety concerns. Sincerely, Paul W. Maldonado State Fire Marshal

ABOUT THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL’S OFFICE The State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO) develops and promotes methods of preventing and reducing fire losses. This responsibility is carried out through fire cause and origin investigations, building inspections, code enforcement, the regulation of fire service industries, and the development and promotion of fire prevention programs. In collaboration with private sector entities, the regulated fire service industry, the Texas fire service, local and state agencies, and the public, the SFMO seeks to create communities well-prepared to protect themselves against fire. The SFMO consists of four divisions:
I Fire Prevention and Outreach Division II Fire Investigations Division III Fire Industry Licensing Services and Investigations Division IV Fire Safety Inspections Division Services offered by the State Fire Marshal’s Office include, but are not limited to:
fire prevention education; fire safety inspections; fire origin and cause investigations; licensing and regulation of the fire alarm, extinguisher, sprinkler, and fireworks industries; fire standard compliant cigarettes oversight; firefighter fatality investigations; the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS); ISO PPC oversight and technical assistance with FSRS; Forensic Arson Laboratory; Canine teams, and Youth Fire Prevention and Intervention.
I - FIRE PREVENTION AND OUTREACH DIVISION Through a variety of programs and initiatives, the Fire Prevention/Outreach Division of SFMO achieves agency goals in several ways. FPO provides essential fire protection information and education, administers statewide youth fire prevention and intervention programs, maintains the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS), manages the Public Protection Classification (PPC) fire suppression rating system process, and maintains and monitors all agency communication with outside sources.
• Youth Fire Prevention and Intervention Upon request, the SFMO helps fire departments establish a community-based youth fire prevention and intervention program. We also provide a database software program that facilitates the collection and maintenance of records about juveniles participating in local youth fire prevention and intervention programs. • Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS) The SFMO collects data from fire departments and compiles statistics to determine the impact of fire on lives and property throughout the state. Each year, Fires in Texas, a summary of the fires reported to the SFMO, is published and made available to the Fire Service and the general public. This data is a valuable tool in developing laws, standards and prevention programs. TEXFIRS data is forwarded to the US Fire Administration for inclusion in the national incident database, NFIRS.
Fires in Texas 2010 iv
• PPC Oversight The SFMO provides fire departments assistance with ISO Public Protection Classifications and the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule upon request. This program is responsible for approving or disapproving proposed PPC ratings for communities. • Fire Safety Education The SFMO develops and promotes fire safety campaigns to target all ages and demographic audiences. The SFMO is a resource for the Texas fire service for fire prevention programming. Additionally, the SFMO continues to offer Fire Safety for Texans, a series of fire and burn prevention curriculum guides available on the SFMO Web site to those who teach fire safety. Each guide, Kindergarten through High School, includes lesson plans, teacher materials, and student materials. • Educational Conferences The SFMO produces public information programs, seminars and conferences, chief of which are the annual Fire Marshal’s Conference and the bi-annual Youth Fire Prevention and Intervention Conference. II – FIRE INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION SFMO fire investigators investigate, upon request, fire scenes throughout the state. They assist local law enforcement authorities with determining origin and cause, and with criminal investigations, when appropriate. • Arson Hotline A toll-free number is available to the public for reporting suspicious fire activity. The hotline, 1- 877-4FIRE45 (1-877-434-7345) is staffed 24 hours a day. • Canine Teams Certified canine teams are available 24 hours a day. Each team consists of a handler, who is a certified peace officer/arson investigator, and a canine that has been certified and trained to detect hydrocarbon accelerants. • Forensic Arson Laboratory The SFMO Forensic Arson Laboratory, based in Austin, provides accelerant testing services and analysis of fire-scene debris to law enforcement and public safety organizations. The lab is accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratories Directors (ASCLD). III - FIRE INDUSTRY LICENSING SERVICES AND INVESTIGATIONS DIVISION • Licensing Services The SFMO is charged with issuing registrations, licenses and permits to people and companies working in the fire alarm, extinguisher, sprinkler and fireworks industries. The program verifies an applicant’s qualifications, provides customer assistance, performs criminal background checks, reviews insurance certificates, maintains records, and collects the appropriate fees. • Fire Industry Investigations Fire Industry Investigators respond to complaints concerning the illegal, improper and unsafe installation of fire alarm, extinguisher and sprinkler systems by licensed entities. This section provides daily assistance to local fire marshals and building officials regarding the application of the codes for the installation and service of fire
Fires in Texas 2010 v
protection systems. Investigators also perform periodic inspections of fireworks retail sites to ensure compliance with adopted laws and safety standards. • Fire Standard Compliant Cigarettes Oversight Cigarettes are a leading cause of fire deaths in the United States. All cigarettes sold in Texas must be certified as fire safety standard compliant as of January 1, 2010. Fire standard compliant cigarettes are designed to reduce the amount of time that a cigarette continues to burn when not being smoked, meaning that it is less likely to ignite furniture, bedding or other flammable materials. The SFMO is in charge of all rulemaking and certifications relating to fire standard compliant cigarettes in accordance with Health and Safety Code Chapter 796. The program registers manufacturers, maintains certifications of cigarette tests, collects the appropriate fees, and performs periodic inspections of distribution centers and retail outlets to ensure compliance. • Texas Fire and Life Safety Educators Program (TXFLSE) Description of service: Coordinates statewide fire and life safety public educator resource team and meetings; creates and maintains web pages that serve as the central resource for information and materials. IV - FIRE SAFETY INSPECTIONS DIVISION The SFMO fire safety inspectors conduct inspections of public and private buildings and facilities, including 24- hour care facilities, state buildings, detention centers, day-care centers, hotels and motels and other assembly and educational-type property. The division also conducts comprehensive fire safety inspections of all state-supported institutions of higher learning. Inspections are based on need or in response to a request or complaint. Upon complaint, inspections of storage, handling and use of flammable liquids are conducted at retail service stations. Code interpretation and consulting services to city and county fire protection agencies, private individuals, state agencies and business owners are provided, as well as, research, reporting and recommendations for improvement to counties regarding fire prevention and protection. LINE OF DUTY DEATH INVESTIGATIONS The State Fire Marshal’s Office is responsible for investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a firefighter that dies in the line of duty or if the firefighter’s death occurs in connection with an on-duty incident in Texas. These investigations are conducted in cooperation with fire-service organizations such as the State Firemen's & Fire Marshals' Association, Texas Fire Chiefs Association, Texas Association of Firefighters, Texas Fire Marshals Association, Texas Commission on Fire Protection, Texas Forest Service, Emergency Services Training Institute and Texas metropolitan fire departments (including Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. All fire departments in Texas should immediately report any such firefighter death or life-threatening injury to the State Fire Marshal's Office by calling 512-305-7900, option #2.TE FIRE MARSHAL’S

All Fires Fires in Texas 2010 1
The United States continues to experience a severe fire problem of great national concern with one of the highest per capita fire death rates of an industrialized country. Fire kills more Americans than all natural disasters combined. * This 2010 Fires in Texas annual report is a presentation of summarized fire incident data reported to the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System by 1,034 participating fire departments. When reviewing this information it should be noted that incident reporting in Texas is voluntary and consistent and routine reporting by all departments is necessary for a more complete and accurate summary of fire activity in the state. For 2010, Texas fire departments participating in the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS) reported:
• 76,781 total fires (a fire occurred every 7 minutes),
• 175 civilian fire deaths, 791 civilian fire injuries,
• 65% of fire deaths occurred in residential structures • 21% of residential structure fires had smoke detectors present and operated, • 24% of civilian deaths in residential structure fires involved the elderly (age 65 and over), • $510,113,505 in property loss due to fire, and • 5,592 incendiary/suspicious fires.
The information contained in this report is intended to assist policy makers, members of the fire service and the public to better understand Texas fire losses, with the goal of reducing the loss of life and property due to fire. * http://www.usfa.dhs.gov

Uses of Data
Since 1982, Texas has participated in the collection of fire department incident information through TEXFIRS, the only statewide uniform system of fire and non-fire incident reporting. Fire departments use this reporting system to uniformly code incident information. Accurate and complete information about fires and other incidents can provide a fire department with a valuable reference to:
• help allocate limited resources, • justify budget needs, • review the need for personnel training, and • focus the direction of fire education/prevention programs.
State lawmakers, the press, the general public, insurance companies, and fire service administrators and leaders request TEXFIRS summary reports to help address fire safety concerns and new legislation issues. Texas adopted the National Fire Incident Reporting System, NFIRS 5.0, as the TEXFIRS reporting system, without modification. Year 2008 and earlier TEXFIRS data includes incidents captured in the NFIRS Version 4 format and converted to Version 5. Code conversion tables should be reviewed when considering trends and analyzing data. TEXFIRS/NFIRS data is forwarded to the National Fire Data Center (NFDC) at the U.S. Fire Administration each year. The NFDC can then compare and contrast statistics from states and large metropolitan departments to:
• develop national public education campaigns, • make recommendations for national codes and standards, • guide allocation of federal funds, • ascertain consumer product failures, • identify the focus for research efforts, and • support federal legislation.*
NFIRS data is used as the basis for the USFA’s publication Fire in the United States, the single most comprehensive reference on the nature and scope of the fire problem in the United States. NFIRS data is also used by the
U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC)
International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM)
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC)* *http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/fireservice/nfirs/index.shtm

Incendiary/Suspicious Fires Fires in Texas 2010 21
During 2010, there were 5,592 fires determined to be incendiary/suspicious. These fires accounted for 7% of all reported fires, 9% of all fire-related injuries, 10% of all fire-related deaths and 11% of all fire-related dollar loss. An incendiary fire is a fire that was determined to have been deliberately set to destroy property. A suspicious fire is a fire that was suspected of having been deliberately or maliciously set to destroy property. An unknown fire is a fire for which the cause was undetermined. In many cases, fires of unknown cause are later determined to have been incendiary or suspicious. In this report, a fire set by a property owner to destroy or incinerate trash, grass, brush, or other property without value is not classified as incendiary or suspicious unless the fire was set with malicious intent. Note: Primary fires sometimes spread to other properties, resulting in "exposure fires." Fire loss data for exposure fires are not included in this section of the report. Therefore, total fire losses that might be attributed to specific fire causes may be greater than indicated.
