This paper presents preliminary findings from an ongoing study of survivors of residential fires. The purpose of this study was to examine psychological distress and extent of loss in order to provide a psychological profile of survivors over time. The sample (N=69) was drawn consecutively from the database of residential fires available through the Philadelphia Fire Department. Levels of psychological distress were measured as well as reports of symptoms consistent with the diagnostic criteria for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder.The major findings indicate that residential fires caused significant and sustained distress. An agenda for further research and for services to survivors of these fires is presented.
