Abstract

In the paper a statistical analysis of fire data results is introduced. The data come from the territory of the Slovak Republic and are analysed for the period 2004 – 2013. They are analysed from 3 principal points of view: fire numbers, fire losses and fire casualties. The results show that the trends related to fire numbers, fire losses and casualties are not linear. The relation to the rate of fires in the natural environment is dependent in particular on meteorological situation, however their rate increases also in the spring season due to grass burning in the countryside. The reason for the gradual increase of fire rate in industry and dwellings is probably the usage of new materials, as in industrial technology and furniture situated in dwellings. The increase/decrease of fire rate is relatively closely related to the trend of fire-fighter interventions, which is also introduced in the paper. The fire losses depend mostly on prompt sightings, announcing the fire and intervention of fire-fighters.
