Book excerpt: From 2006 to 2010, 830 structure fires in barns (properties in NFIRS as: livestock or poultry storage, including barns, stockyards, and animal pens) were reported to U.S. municipal fire departments per year. These fires were responsible for annual losses of one civilian death, ten civilian injuries, and $28 million in direct property damage. Heating equipment was the cause of nearly one-quarter (25%) of these fires, led by heat lamps (15%). NFPA 150: Standard on fire and life safety in animal housing facilities (www.nfpa.org/150) covers barns where animals are housed and is invaluable to anyone interested in safety in this type of property. These estimates are based on data from the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA'S) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA's) annual fire experience survey.
