Fire losses and human accidents caused by lightning are recorded in Austria since more than 20 years with an appropriate quality. The used data of fire losses and human accidents of a 10 years period are based on official documents summarized by the National Organization of Fire Prevention every year. Additionally a huge number of newspaper reports from 2001 to 2010 could be obtained. The investigations and the correlations are based on the lightning density, recorded by of the Austrian Lightning Detection and Information System (ALDIS). In a period of 10 years a total number of 8.662 fire losses by lightning and 76 human accidents including 11 fatalities were recorded in the federal territory of Austria. In the western part of Austria with the provinces Vorarlberg, Tirol and Salzburg, 74 fire losses caused by lightning were recorded, that are 5% of all fire losses caused by lightning in the year 2010 on an area with 27.244 flashes per year, that are 14% of all flashes per year in Austria. The northern part, with the provinces Oberösterreich and Niederösterreich and Wien with 76.199 flashes in the year 2010, that are 40% of all flashes has got 1.017 fire losses caused by lightning, that means 65% of all fire losses caused by lightning in the year 2010. The eastern part with the province Burgenland with 14.584 flashes, that are 8% of all flashes in Austria has got 92 fire losses caused by lightning, that are 6% of all fire losses caused by lightning in the year 2010. In the southern part of Austria with the provinces Steiermark and Kärnten 367 fire losses caused by lightning were recorded in the year 2010. That means that 24% of all fire losses caused by lightning were in an area with 73.610 flashes (38%).
