- Abstract
- The Swedish Board of Fire Research has initiated a pre-study to investigate the possibility to setup a larger research project that would deal with residential fires. Through interviews, literature
studies and an initial statistical study, it is clear that there is a need for an umbrella project that
focuses on residential fires. The major reason for doing this it that the costs of residential fires
are high and that most fire fatalities happen in residential fires. A special effort is needed to be
able to reduce the number of fatal fires and the total number of residential fires. The project
defines two themes as very important. The first theme deals with fire safety for people with...

Through interviews, literature

are high and that most fire fatalities happen in residential fires. A special effort is needed to be
able to reduce the number of fatal fires and the total number of residential fires. The project
defines two themes as very important. The first theme deals with fire safety for people with
reduced capacity for action in case of fire and the other theme deals with fire safety in the future
living environments.
There is a need for funding from several contributors in addition to the Swedish Fire Research
Board, i.e. from the responsible authorities, other public and private research funders and
industry.
Two different ways to carry out the project are proposed. Either a form analogous with the
special initiative regarding arson fires initiated by the Fire Research Board or through a center of
competence; "BIB - Fires in Housing environment" that would include all major stakeholders
and anchored within the organization of the Fire Research Board.
The direct benefit of this pre-study is the compilation of the current knowledge within the area
and the research presented. (Less)
