Dear Fire Professional,

For 34 years, the State Fire Marshal’s Office, through the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System, has published fire summary reports to help the Texas fire service and other interested individuals and entities 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. I appreciate the continued effort of all participating fir e departments to actively participate in TEXFIRS reporting. This annual report would not be possible without their dedication and commitment to prevention.

For calendar year 2015, TEXFIRS participating fire departments documented 2,054,530 fire and non -fire incidents. These 941 fire departments reported 69,084 fires, a fire occurring every eight minutes, 171 civilian fire deaths, 731 civilian fire injuries and $589,939,408 in property fire loss. Most fire-related civilian deaths (65%) occurred in residential structure fires. Cooking was the most frequently (29%) identified cause in all residential structure fires. Incendiary/suspicious was identified as the leading (19%) known cause in fatal residential structure fires. The injuries, loss of life and property damage resulting from all fires remains a source of great concern to us all.

TEXFIRS data helps identify areas at risk and target effective prevention programs at the local and state level. Three safety initiatives incorporated in our SFMO prevention efforts are We’re Out to !larm Texas, Have an Exit Strategy and the Texas Fire Sprinkler Coalition. The We’re Out to !larm Texas program’s focus is the installation of smoke alarms in the homes of elderly and low income residents, those most vulnerable to fire loss. We enjoy our partnership and financial support to purchase the smoke alarms through the Insurance Council of Texas. The Have an Exit Strategy program urges Texans to practice fire escape planning by learning at least two ways out of any room or building. The Texas Fire Sprinkler Coalition, comprised of the National Fire Protection Association and various Texas stakeholder groups, is dedicated to educating Texans on residential fire sprinklers.

I call upon you to continue promoting fire safety throughout your community. With your help, I know we can help reduce fire loss in our state and make it a safer place for everyone. Don’t hesitate to contact us if we can assist you with your fire safety concerns.

Sincerely,

Chris Connealy 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, through fire cause and origin investigations, building inspections, code enforcement, fire service industry regulation, investigation of firefighter line of duty deaths, Public Protection Classification oversight, and 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.

Services offered by the State Fire Marshal’s Office include, but are not limited to:

Fire origin and cause investigations; Canine teams; Forensic Arson Laboratory; Firefighter fatality investigations; Licensing and regulation of the fire alarm, extinguisher, sprinkler, and fireworks industries; Licensing investigations; Fire safety inspections; Fire-standard compliant cigarettes oversight; Fire prevention education; Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS); ISO PPC oversight and technical assistance with the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule; and Youth Fire Prevention and Intervention.

Fire Origin and Cause Investigations

Fire investigators investigate fire scenes throughout the state upon request. They assist local law enforcement and fire service 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

Canine teams assist fire investigators with evidence collection. Each team consists of a handler, who is a certified peace officer/arson investigator, and a canine certified and trained to detect hydrocarbon accelerants. Upon request, canine teams work with SFMO investigators, as well as outside law enforcement and fire service agencies.

Forensic Arson Laboratory

The Forensic Arson Laboratory, based in Austin, provides accelerant testing services and analysis of fire-scene debris to law enforcement and public safety organizations at no charge. The lab is accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratories Directors.

MARSHAL’S


Firefighter Fatalities

The SFMO is responsible for investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a firefighter who dies in the line of duty or in connection with an on-duty incident in Texas. These investigations are conducted in cooperation with fire-service organizations such as the State Firefighters’ & Fire Marshals' Association, Texas Fire Chiefs Association, Texas Association of Firefighters, Texas Fire Marshals' Association, Texas Commission on Fire Protection, Texas A&M Forest Service, Texas Chapter International Association of Arson Investigators, 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 512-676-6800, option No. 2.

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.

Licensing Investigations

Licensing investigators respond to complaints about the illegal, improper and unsafe installation of fire alarm, extinguisher and sprinkler systems by licensed entities. They also provide daily assistance to local fire marshals and building officials regarding the application of the codes for the installation and service of fire protection systems. Investigators also perform periodic inspections of fireworks retail sites to ensure compliance with adopted laws and safety standards.

Fire Safety Inspections

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. Inspections of storage facilities, and the handling and use of flammable liquids at retail service stations, are performed upon request or in response to a complaint.

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.

Fire-Standard Compliant Cigarettes Oversight

All cigarettes sold in Texas must be certified as fire standard compliant. Fire-standard compliant cigarettes are designed to reduce the amount of time that a cigarette continues to burn when not being smoked, meaning 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 inspections of distribution centers and retail outlets to ensure compliance on a complaint received basis.

Fires in Texas 2015 iv


Outreach, Policy and Research

The Outreach, Policy and Research (OPR) section develops and promotes fire safety campaigns that target all ages and demographic audiences. This section also produces public information programs, seminars and conferences, such as the annual Fire Marshals' Conference and Fire Investigation Forums. OPR is also responsible for organizing and maintaining all additional SFMO events, assisting SFMO staff with all communication and publication requests including reports, and promoting SFMO events and initiatives.

Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS)

The TEXFIRS section 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 for developing laws, standards and prevention programs. TEXFIRS data is forwarded to the U.S. Fire Administration for inclusion in the national incident database, NFIRS.

Public Protection Classification (PPC) Oversight

PPC Oversight assists fire departments with their ISO PPC and the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule, when requested. The program approves or disapproves proposed PPC ratings for communities.

Youth Firesetting Prevention and Intervention

This program helps fire departments establish a community-based youth firesetting prevention and intervention program modeled after the US Fire Administration’s Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Specialist I and II courses. Fire departments are also provided a database software program developed by the SFMO that facilitates the collection and maintenance of records about juveniles participating in local youth fire prevention and intervention programs.

Uses of Data

Since 1982, Texas has collected 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. 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 considered when reviewing trends and analyzing data.

State lawmakers, the press, the general public, insurance companies, and fire service administrators and leaders can use TEXFIRS data to help address fire safety education and direct fire prevention legislation. Accurate and complete information about fires and other incidents can help a fire department:

track and manage apparatus and personnel; document all department activity; justify budgets with hard statistics; and direct fire education/prevention programs.

TEXFIRS data is forwarded to the National Fire Data Center (NFDC) at the U.S. Fire Administration to be included with the national NFIRS data each year.

NFIRS is the world’s largest, national, annual database of fire incident information. Every U.S. state and the District of Columbia reports NFIRS data. Nationally, about 23,000 fire departments report in NFIRS each year. Participating fire departments report about 22,000,000 incidents and 1,000,000 fires each

year.

The USFA utilized this NFIRS data to compare and contrast statistics from states and large metropolitan departments to:

analyze the severity of the nation’s fire problem; target national public education campaigns; make recommendations for national codes and standards; guide allocation of federal funds; set priorities; 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).

During 2015, there were 4,955 fires determined to be incendiary/suspicious (inc/susp). These fires accounted for seven percent of all reported fires, eight percent of all fire-related injuries, sixteen percent of all fire-related deaths and seven percent of all fire-related dollar loss.

An incendiary fire is a fire that was determined to have been deliberately set to destroy prop erty. 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 bee n 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 ma y be greater than indicated.
