<abstract>A survey of all building-fires in the canton of Berne for the period of 1986 to 1995 was performed by the ETH (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Zürich) and the GVB (Gebäudeversicherung des Kantons Bern) to establish a statistical database for fire safety engineering. It contains data on fire loss to the building structure (not the contents) from nearly 40,000 fires reported to the GVB over that period and may provide valuable information for fire safety engineering</abstract>
