Book condition : very good. - This report on the economic costs of fire provides revised estimates of the total cost of fire and, for the first time, of the average costs of different types of fire, broken down by location and cost type. It refines and builds on previous work in this area, drawing together a wide range of information. These estimates provide an important tool for decision-makers involved in the appraisal and evaluation of the impacts of fire prevention, fire cover and damage reduction policies. The report estimates that fire cost the economy £6.9bn in 1999, but also illustrates that different types of fire are likely to have different economic impacts. It is essential that this information is used by government in thinking about how best to allocate time and resources aimed a reducing the costs of fire. ISBN 9781840827378.
