The American National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has released a study on August 1 illustrating the number of people who die from fire in the USA.
The study estimated that approximately 3,675 people die each year from fire (almost one every 2.5 hours).
While I can't currently find similar figures for Australia, there is quite a lot of information available from each of the fire authorities around the country.
