<dc:description xml:lang="es">Sumario: More than one-quarter of the reported fires in 2015-2019 (26 percent) occurred in home environments. In addition, three-quarters of the civilian fire deaths (75 percent) and almost three-quarters of the reported civilian fire injuriesi (72 percent) during that time period were caused by homeii structure fires. During this five-year period, US fire departments responded to an estimated average of 346,800 home structure fires per year. These fires caused an annual average of 2,620 civilian deaths; 11,070 civilian fire injuries; and $7.3 billion in direct property damage. Of the reported home fires in 2015-2019, 69 percent occurred in one- or twofamily homes, including manufactured homes. These fires caused 85 percent of the home fire deaths, 65 percent of the home fire injuries, and 79 percent of the direct property damage. Certain scenarios appeared to be more dangerous during this time period tan in the past. The death rate per 1,000 reported home fires that began with the ignition of either upholstered furniture or mattresses and bedding in 2015- 2019 was more than double what it was in 1980-1984.</dc:description>
