Abstract

This comparative study makes an attempt to find any common ground between the findings in different
countries and see if there are any trends defined or if there is no relation between them. Another, maybe, more
important scope is the comparison of the fire situation in the developing and developed countries today.
Although it is extremely difficult to obtain detailed data on different countries and although most of the
countries do not keep statistical data at all, an attempt was made to gather the limited data accessible to the
public, compare the data sets and draw some conclusions from this comparison.
Data was gathered for the UK, USA, China, Russia and New Zealand and limited data was found on Brazil,
Canada, Greece, Singapore and Australia. Comparing tables were drawn and the results are presented below
