THE NEW NATIONAL FIRE INCIDENT REPORTING SYSTEM

摘要

According to the national fire data center of the United States Fire Administration (USFA), "fire kills thousands of Americans each year, injures hundreds of thousands, destroys billions of dollars in property, and costs tens of billions of dollars overall, but mayors and city managers, school officials, the media, and the general public still are largely unaware of the magnitude of these numbers. Their lack of awareness and failure to realize the seriousness of fire to communities and the country are factors in keeping the U.S. fire problem one of the worst in the world per capita."
