This bibliography contains citations concerning the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) which is used to collect fire incident and fire casualty data on a nationwide basis.

The NFIRS databases and studies, tables, and conclusions drawn from these databases are included in the bibliography. Data collected includes appliance fires, heating fires, electrical fires, general residential fires, causes of fires sorted by time and month, extent of damages, death rates, firefighter and civilian injuries, cooking fires, and economic loss studies. Available on tape and/or papercopy. Fire alarms and fire detectors are discussed in separate bibliographies. (This new bibliography contains 162 citations fully indexed with a title list.).
