Dear Fire Professional,

For 31 years, the State Fire Marshal’s Office, through the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System, has

published fire summary reports to help the Texas fire service and other interested individuals and entities

understand the fire problem and how it impacts our state and its citizens. This copy of the Fires in Texas is

published with that goal in mind.

For calendar year 2012, TEXFIRS participating fire departments documented 1,766,555 fire and non-fire

incidents. These 1,007 fire departments reported 71,303 fires, a fire occurring every seven minutes, 174

civilian fire deaths, 744 civilian fire injuries and $480,869,446 in property loss. Cooking was the most

frequently (29%) identified cause in all residential structure fires and most fire-related civilian deaths (67%)

occurred in residential structure fires.

The injuries, loss of life and property damage resulting from all fires remains a source of great concern to us

all. TEXFIRS data helps identify areas at risk and target effective prevention programs at the local and state

level. I appreciate the continued effort of all participating fire departments to actively participate in TEXFIRS

reporting. This annual report would not be possible without their dedication and commitment to prevention.

Two safety initiatives incorporated in our SFMO prevention efforts are We’re out to Alarm Texas and Have

an Exit Strategy. The We’re out to Alarm Texas program’s focus is the installation of smoke detectors in the

homes of elderly and low income residents, those most vulnerable to fire loss. The Have an Exit Strategy

program urges Texans to practice fire escape planning by learning at least two ways out of any room or

building.

The Texas fire service is making great strides with proactive wildfire preparations involving education,

suppression operations, training, and coordinated responses through the Texas Intrastate Fire Mutual Aid

System (TIFMAS). To minimize future losses, additional attention must be given to building codes in the

wildland urban interface and wildfire mitigation, including the use of prescribed burns and the removal of

fuel sources near structures.

I call upon you to join me in promoting fire safety throughout your community. With your help, I know we

can reduce fire loss in our state and make it a safer place for everyone. Don’t hesitate to call our office if I can

assist you with your fire safety concerns.

Sincerely,

Chris Connealy

ABOUT THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL’S OFFICE

The State Fire Marshal’s Office (SFMO) develops and promotes methods of preventing and reducing fire

losses, through fire cause and origin investigations, building inspections, code enforcement, fire service

industry regulation, investigation of firefighter line of duty deaths, Public Protection Classification oversight,

and fire prevention programs. In collaboration with private sector entities, the regulated fire service industry,

the Texas fire service, local and state agencies, and the public, the SFMO seeks to create communities well-

prepared to protect themselves against fire.

Services offered by the State Fire Marshal’s Office include, but are not limited to:

Fire origin and cause investigations;

Canine teams;

Forensic Arson Laboratory;

Firefighter fatality investigations;

Licensing and regulation of the fire alarm, extinguisher, sprinkler, and fireworks industries;

Licensing investigations;

Fire safety inspections;

Fire-standard compliant cigarettes oversight;

Fire prevention education;

Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS);

ISO PPC oversight and technical assistance with the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule; and

Youth Fire Prevention and Intervention.

Fire Origin and Cause Investigations

Fire investigators investigate fire scenes throughout the state upon request. They assist local law

enforcement and fire service authorities with determining origin and cause, and with criminal

investigations, when appropriate.

Arson Hotline

A toll-free number is available to the public for reporting suspicious fire activity. The hotline, 1-

877-4FIRE45 (1-877-434-7345) is staffed 24 hours a day.

Canine Teams

Canine teams assist fire investigators with evidence collection. Each team consists of a handler, who

is a certified peace officer/arson investigator, and a canine certified and trained to detect hydrocarbon

accelerants. Upon request, canine teams work with SFMO investigators, as well as outside law

enforcement and fire service agencies.

Forensic Arson Laboratory

The Forensic Arson Laboratory, based in Austin, provides accelerant testing services and analysis of

fire-scene debris to law enforcement and public safety organizations at no charge. The lab is

accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratories Directors.

Fires in Texas 2012 iv


Firefighter Fatalities

The SFMO is responsible for investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a firefighter

who dies in the line of duty or in connection with an on-duty incident in Texas. These investigations

are conducted in cooperation with fire-service organizations such as the State Firemen's & Fire

Marshals' Association, Texas Fire Chiefs Association, Texas Association of Firefighters, Texas Fire

Marshals Association, Texas Commission on Fire Protection, Texas A&M Forest Service, Emergency

Services Training Institute and Texas metropolitan fire departments (including Austin, Dallas, El

Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio). All fire departments in Texas should immediately

report any such firefighter death or life-threatening injury to the State Fire Marshal's Office by calling

512-305-7900, option No. 2. MARSHAL’S

Licensing Services

The SFMO is charged with issuing registrations, licenses and permits to people and companies

working in the fire alarm, extinguisher, sprinkler and fireworks industries. The program verifies an

applicant’s qualifications, provides customer assistance, performs criminal background checks,

reviews insurance certificates, maintains records, and collects the appropriate fees.

In fiscal year 2012, the SFMO issued 13,872 licenses, registrations, and permits to the fire

alarm, extinguisher, sprinkler and fireworks industries. As of August 31, 2013, there were

2,969 licensed and registered firms and 11, 462 licensed and permitted individuals. In

additional, SFMO issued 596 display permits and 4,185 retail fireworks permits.

Licensing Investigations

Licensing investigators respond to complaints about the illegal, improper and unsafe installation of

fire alarm, extinguisher and sprinkler systems by licensed entities. They also provide daily assistance

to local fire marshals and building officials regarding the application of the codes for the installation

and service of fire protection systems. Investigators also perform periodic inspections of fireworks

retail sites to ensure compliance with adopted laws and safety standards.

Fire Safety Inspections

Fire safety inspectors conduct inspections of public and private buildings and facilities, including 24-

hour care facilities, state buildings, detention centers, day-care centers, hotels and motels and other

assembly and educational-type property. The division also conducts comprehensive fire safety

inspections of all state-supported institutions of higher learning. Inspections are based on need or in

response to a request or complaint. Inspections of storage facilities, and the handling and use of

flammable liquids at retail service stations, are performed upon request or in response to a complaint.

Code interpretation and consulting services to city and county fire protection agencies, private

individuals, state agencies and business owners are provided, as well as, research, reporting and

recommendations for improvement to counties regarding fire prevention and protection.

Fires in Texas 2012 v


Fire-Standard Compliant Cigarettes Oversight

All cigarettes sold in Texas must be certified as fire standard compliant. Fire-standard compliant

cigarettes are designed to reduce the amount of time that a cigarette continues to burn when not being

smoked, meaning it is less likely to ignite furniture, bedding or other flammable materials. The SFMO

is in charge of all rulemaking and certifications relating to fire-standard compliant cigarettes, in

accordance with Health and Safety Code Chapter 796. The program registers manufacturers,

maintains certifications of cigarette tests, collects the appropriate fees, and performs inspections of

distribution centers and retail outlets to ensure compliance on a complaint received basis.

Outreach, Policy and Research

The Outreach, Policy and Research section develops and promotes fire safety campaigns that target all

ages and demographic audiences. It also offers Fire Safety for Texans, a series of fire and burn

prevention curriculum guides, available at http://www.tdi.texas.gov/fire/fmcurric.html. Each guide,

kindergarten through high school, includes lesson plans, teacher materials, and student materials.

Educational Conferences

This section also produces public information programs, seminars and conferences. The annual Fire

Marshal’s Conference and the biennial Youth Fire Prevention and Intervention Conference are two

such major educational events.

In 2012, approximately 275 fire marshals and fire safety educators from Texas attended the

Texas Fire Marshals’ Conference in Austin.

Texas Fire and Life Safety Educators Program (TXFLSE)

This program offers resources to statewide fire and life safety public educators for community

education programs and initiatives.

Texas Fire Incident Reporting System (TEXFIRS)

The TEXFIRS section collects data from fire departments and compiles statistics to determine the

impact of fire on lives and property throughout the state. Each year, Fires in Texas, a summary of the

fires reported to the SFMO, is published and made available to the fire service and the general public.

This data is a valuable tool for developing laws, standards and prevention programs. TEXFIRS data

is forwarded to the U.S. Fire Administration for inclusion in the national incident database, NFIRS.

1,007 fire departments submitted 1,766,555 fire and non-fire incident reports reflecting fire

department activity during 2012.

http://www.tdi.texas.gov/fire/fmcurric.html

Fires in Texas 2012 vi


Public Protection Classification (PPC) Oversight

PPC Oversight assists fire departments with their ISO PPC and the Fire Suppression Rating Schedule,

when requested. The program approves or disapproves proposed PPC ratings for communities.

In 2012, staff met with 36 communities to discuss classification and provide assistance to

improve grading; and approved changes in classification for 161 communities.

Youth Firesetting Prevention and Intervention

This program helps fire departments establish a community-based youth firesetting prevention and

intervention program modeled after the US Fire Administration’s Juvenile Firesetter Intervention

Specialist I and II courses. Fire departments are also provided a database software program developed

by the SFMO that facilitates the collection and maintenance of records about juveniles participating in

local youth fire prevention and intervention programs.

Fires in Texas 2012 2

Uses of Data

Since 1982, Texas has collected fire department incident information through TEXFIRS, the only statewide

uniform system of fire and non-fire incident reporting.

Fire departments use this reporting system to uniformly code incident information. Accurate and complete

information about fires and other incidents can help a fire department:

allocate limited resources;

justify budget needs;

review the need for personnel training; and

focus the direction of fire education/prevention programs.

State lawmakers, the press, the general public, insurance companies, and fire service administrators and

leaders request TEXFIRS summary reports to help address fire safety concerns and new legislation issues.

Texas adopted the National Fire Incident Reporting System, NFIRS 5.0, as the TEXFIRS reporting system,

without modification.

Year 2008 and earlier TEXFIRS data includes incidents captured in the NFIRS Version 4 format and

converted to Version 5. Code conversion tables should be reviewed when considering trends and analyzing

data.

TEXFIRS/NFIRS data is forwarded to the National Fire Data Center (NFDC) at the U.S. Fire Administration

each year. The NFDC can then compare and contrast statistics from states and large metropolitan

departments to:

develop national public education campaigns; make recommendations for national codes and standards;

guide allocation of federal funds;

ascertain consumer product failures;

identify the focus for research efforts; and

support federal legislation.*

NFIRS data is used as the basis for the USFA’s publication Fire in the United States, the single most

comprehensive reference on the nature and scope of the fire problem in the United States.

NFIRS data is also used by the

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)

International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC)

International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF)

National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM)

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

National Volunteer Fire Council (NVFC)*

Incendiary/Suspicious Fires Fires in Texas 2012 21

During 2012, there were 5,362 fires determined to be incendiary/suspicious (inc/susp). These fires accounted for eight percent of

all reported fires, nine percent of all fire-related injuries, fourteen percent of all fire-related deaths and seven percent of all fire-

related dollar loss.

An incendiary fire is a fire that was determined to have been deliberately set to destroy property. A suspicious fire is a fire that was

suspected of having been deliberately or maliciously set to destroy property. An unknown fire is a fire for which the cause was

undetermined. In many cases, fires of unknown cause are later determined to have been incendiary or suspicious.

In this report, a fire set by a property owner to destroy or incinerate trash, grass, brush, or other property without value is not

classified as incendiary or suspicious unless the fire was set with malicious intent.

Note: Primary fires sometimes spread to other properties, resulting in "exposure fires." Fire loss data for exposure fires are not

included in this section of the report. Therefore, total fire losses that might be attributed to specific fire causes may be greater than

indicated.
