This research explores the risk of casualties (fatalities and injuries) among the senior population (aged 65 and over) in the event of a fire compared to the general population. The researchers analysed data available through the National Fire Information Database (NFID). The research also explores variations in risks of fatalities and injuries as a function of life safety systems and analyzes the action and condition of casualties at fire incidents. We then create a forecast of the expected number of casualties based on the expected growth in the senior population.
