U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,348,500 fires. These fires resulted in 3,010 civilian fire fatalities, 17,050 civilian fire injuries and an estimated $12,531,000,000 in direct property loss. There was a civilian fire death every 175 minutes and a civilian fire injury every 31 minutes in 2009. Home fires caused 2,565, or 85%, of the civilian fire deaths. Fires accounted for five percent of the 26,534,000 total calls. Eight percent of the calls were false alarms; sixty-five percent of the calls were for aid such as EMS.
