The
Office of the State Fire Marshal collects a number of statistics
across the
state. Much of the data is collected from fire departments through
the KFIRS/NFIRS system, although information is also collected from
hospitals on fireworks and burn injuries, and from local jurisdictions
regarding juvenile firesetting. Each Division within the State Fire
Marshal's Office also collects data specific to their areas of jurisdiction.
For this statistical data, either visit the pages for each division
or contact the main office at (785) 296-3401. The
statistics
presented here are general stats collected from fire departments
regarding the number of fires, loss of life, injuries, and loss of
property. Statistics
for 2006 are now finalized. For 2007 statistics, please contact the
main office. |
