According to the CTIF, the Center for Fire Statistics has been offering knowledge about the causes of fire and risks in different countries since 1995.

A look at historical fire risks

In 2023, report No. 28 was published, which includes data from 38 countries and 26 major cities. The analyzes of causes of fire in 66 countries are particularly interesting. The project "100 Cities - 100 Years - Evaluation of Urban Fire Risks" continues and offers valuable information about the development of urban fire risks in the 20th century. Political, cultural and technical developments are considered that have had a lasting impact on fire protection.

The CTIF has developed a risk model that enables an evaluation of the fire risk at national and international level. This model is used as part of the “100 Cities - 100 Years” project to provide knowledge about recorded fires, number of victims and risks in urban areas. Such data are crucial to better understand the handling of fire phenomena and take appropriate prevention measures.

The fire in Detmold and the associated challenges underline the importance of an effective and well -equipped fire brigade, which is essential for the protection of the population. The comprehensive use of the fire brigade and the subsequent analysis of the causes of fire will make a decisive contribution to preventing future fires and increasing security in urban rooms.
