Fires and related incidents in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

(in lingua inglese)

There are on average two fires a day in Dubai and the aim of this study was to explore and analyse the available data relating to fires within the urban areas in Dubai. The fire statistics used included data relating to the total number of fire incidents which had occurred over an eight year period (2006–2013). The data was characterised by fire type, the affected community areas and the recorded cause of ignition. Statistics on fire costs can be gathered from insurance claims and such costs are usually high. It is clear that national codes must emphasise life safety and safer environments rather than focus primarily on property damage [20], and it is equally important to raise awareness of and provide education relating to fire prevention.
