In 1978, 7,441 fires resulted in a loss of $75 million and 98 persons dead The average loss per fire for the Province in 1979 was $13,834 and the per capita loss was $41.26. There was an average of 2.98 fires for every 1,000 persons in British Columbia. Fire Fatalities Sixty-nine men, 26 women and 30 children lost their lives as a result of fire last year. Fifty of these resulted from careless smoking and impairment by liquor contributed significantly to 13. Eight persons were killed as a result of arson. Four persons died from fire resulting from motor vehicle accidents. Seven persons died from fires resulting from improper installation or improper use of solid fuel-fired equipment. Twenty-five children that died from fire were 10 years old or younger; 20 fatalities were over 70 years Fifty-four persons who died from fire were asleep at the time of the fire—this accounts for a hefty 43%. Residential Fires 28.6% of all fires in 1979 were in one- and two-family dwellings, resulting in a total loss of $24 million. A further 7.6% were in apartment buildings with a loss exceeding $6.1 million. These two residential categories accounted for 36.2% of the total number of fires and 28.5% of the total 1979 fire losses in the Province. One hundred and eight of the 125 fire fatalities occurred in residential fires. Educational Institutions $9.3 million. This is a dramatic increase from the losses in 1978 when 106 fires There were 123 fires in educational institutions in 1979 resulting in a loss of resulted in a loss of only $2.8 million. It would appear that the 1978 figures in this category are very close to the all-time high losses in 1976 when there were just over 100 fires and a loss of $10 million. Following the general pattern for fires in educational institutions, a large percentage (72%) of the fires were set deliberately, most often by students themselves. In 1979, 49 charges were laid against 39 juveniles relating to school fires. To date the charges have resulted in 15 convictions, one dismissal and one stay. Twenty-two are still pending. It is interesting to note that 27% of the fires were in schools without any form of automatic fire detection, and this percentage contributed 94% of the total school fire dollar loss. Arson In 1979, 1,662 fires out of the total 7,655 fires were deliberately set, causing a loss of $22,678,180. There were 322 "set" fires from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.; 651 from 4 p.m. to midnight; and 689 from midnight to 8 a.m. The rate of arson doubles after dark. 7 BRITISH COLUMBIA Last year 303 charges were laid against 206 persons suspected of arson. The charges resulted in 71 convictions, 17 dismissals, 11 committals, 23 stays of proceedings, 27 were withdrawn, and 153 are pending. Large Loss Fires There were 51 fires in which the individual losses exceeded $250,000 each. Although they contributed only 0.7% of the total fires, they were responsible for losses of $45.5 million, constituting 43% of the Province's annual dollar losses. Included in this large loss category were 19 "set" fires. Automobile Fires Automobile fires accounted for 18% of the number of fires in 1979 causing a loss of $1.7 million. Time The 4 p.m. to midnight period accounted for 43% of the 1979 fires, and 32% occurred during the 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. time period. Although the fewest fires were reported from midnight to 8 a.m. (25%), fires occurring during this period caused the most harm in terms of dollar losses (38% ) and fire fatalities (55%).
