3. Smoking-attributable Fires
Scientific paper estimates the injuries, deaths, and costs from smokingattributable files.
http://epm-leistikow.ucdavis.edu/SMOKINGFIRES.HTM
Fire Injuries, Disasters, and Costs from Cigarettes and Cigarette Lights: A Global Overview Bruce N. Leistikow, Daniel C. Martin, Christina E. Milano
Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, University of California, Davis, California, 95616-8638
Preventive Medicine, 2000, 31 (2):91-99 Background . Fires cause 1% of the global burden of disease. Fire (includes explosion) disasters have immense health, social, and environmental costs. We will provide initial estimates of overall U.S. and global fire tolls from smoking. Design . We tabulated and summarized smoking-related fire and disaster tolls from published documents. We compared those tolls to U.S. fire, burn, and fire death rates per billion cigarettes extrapolated globally. Smoking-attributable percentages of adult and child access to cigarette lighter and match ignitions (lights), and resultant fires, burns, and deaths ignited by young children, were estimated from likely smoking-attributable lights usage. Cigarette plus cigarette lights fire tolls were multiplied times published and estimated fire costs. Results . Smoking is the leading cause of residential or total fire death in all eight countries with available statistics. Smoking is a leading cause of fires in many more countries. Cigarettes cause numerous fire disasters. Cigarette lights cause an estimated 100,000 U.S. and one million global, child-playing fires per year. Cigarette lights fire injuries likely rival U.S., and possibly global, cigarette fire injury numbers. Smoking causes an estimated 30% of U.S. and 10% of global fire death burdens. Smoking's estimated U.S. and global fire costs were $6.95 (sensitivity range $5.34-22.8) and $27.2 (sensitivity range $8.2-89.2) billion, respectively, in 1998 U.S. dollars.

10. Quiet Disasters: House Fires Destroy Lives Every Day
Quiet disasters House fires Destroy Lives Every Day. Written by Christina Ward, Staff Writer, RedCross.org. April 6, 2001 . Hurricanes make headlines. So do earthquakes, tornadoes, floods and volcanoes. Meanwhile, smaller disasters such as house fires occur so frequently, often in our own neighborhoods, that they

Quiet Disasters: House Fires Destroy Lives Every Day
Written by Christina Ward , Staff Writer, RedCross.org April 6, 2001 Except, of course, by the victims themselves. When a house or apartment goes up in flames, it is no less terrifying to residents than a deadly tornado touching down. Both leave lives in shambles. For a family who has lost a loved one in a fire, the effect is devastating. Sobering Statistics Cumulatively, residential fires do represent a major disaster, along the lines of a violent earthquake or deadly hurricane. Nearly 5,000 Americans die each year in fires, and 80 percent of those deaths result from home fires, according to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). Fire kills more Americans each year than all natural disasters combined. While most fatal fires kill one or two people at a time, rather than dozens at once as in some hurricanes or tornadoes, fires occur far more frequently. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that on average during 1999, a U.S. fire department responded to a fire every 17 seconds. That same year, fire caused an average of one death every 2 ½ hours.
"Typically, residential fires increase when the weather gets colder and daylight hours get shorter. People are using alternative heating sources, which can inadvertently cause a fire," said Kevin O'Connell, Emergency Services Director for the American Red Cross of Massachusetts Bay. "As people are decorating their homes with lights and other holiday decorations, it is also a good time to check the batteries in the smoke alarms to ensure that they are working properly."
