57. Fire Statistics - Ontario The Office of the Fire Marshal has an historical database which contains reports filed by fire departments on every fire call Municipal fire departments report to the OFM on every call they attend (fires and non fires). This data is in a database that goes back to 1983. This data can be viewed in many ways - by province, by municipality, over time, at specific types of occupancies, ignition sources, and even by injuries or fatalities. Summaries can be provided on Ontario loss fires, fires with a reported injury, fatality or dollar loss, for the fire year period from 2004 to 2009 The OFM has done several multi year studies on why, when and where of Ontario fires http://www.ofm.gov.on.ca/en/Media%20Relations%20and%20Resources/Statistics/default.asp
