In connection with the analysis of causes of fire and risks, the Center for Fire Statistics of the CFIF (CFS -CTIF) publishes reports on global fire statistics annually. Report No. 28 appeared in 2023, which analyzes data from 38 states and 26 large cities and illuminates the development of urban fire risks. Important questions related to fire protection in urban rooms are discussed, including the number of fires recorded in the past 100 years and international risk trends. According to CTIF , the current project "100 Cities-100 Years" shows important knowledge of fire development and the associated risks.

These statistics and knowledge could also be important for future fire events and their prevention, and they make it clear how important effective fire protection measures and well -trained emergency services are. The data on risk assessment based on the population development, the number of fires and the number of victims are continuously collected and analyzed to better understand the fire situation.
