Cooking accidents are one
of the major causes of fires

FIFTY-ONE PERSONS died in
fires in British Columbia in 1990,
seven fewer than in 1989. Some
other fire statistics also showed
improvement, but others worsen-
ed.

There were more fires and more
injuries, but the total doilar losses
and per capita loss per fire declin-
ed while the number of fircs per
1,000 population remained the
same at 2.38,

B.C. Fire Commissioner Rick

Dumala reports 7,455 fires occur-
red in the province in 1990, ep
from 7,280 in ‘the previous year.
The number of persons injured in
fires in 1990 was 464, compared
with the previous year’s 387.

The major cause of fires in one
and - two-family dwellings was
cooking accidents, responsible for
533 of the 1,962 such fires in B.C.
last year. The second-largest cause
was heating equipment, 410, down

. from 450 in the previous year.

Of the 51 fire deaths - the
second-lowest number in B.C. in
the last 10 years - 26 of the vic-
tims were men, 20 were women
and five were children. Seventeen
of the fire fatalities involved per-
sons over 60 years of age.

Fire deaths from careless smok-
ing, which had been declining in
the late 1980s, took a turn for the
worse in 1990. .

Thirteen of those who died in
fires in 1990 were asleep.
