Analysis of fatal fires in Norway in the 2015-2020 period 

 This project is a continuation of the project "Analysis of fatal fires in Norway in the 2005-2014 period" and has collected and analysed data on fatal fires in Norway in the 2015-2020 period. The project is financed by The Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB) and Norwegian Building Authority (DiBK) as part of the project portfolio under the research agreement between DSB and RISE Fire Research. The aim of the project has been to analyse fire statistics and other sources to find out who dies in fires and why they die, and the project may also address which targeted measures can be implemented to reduce the number of fire fatalities. In addition, the project has analysed data from fatal fires in Finnmark in the 2005-2014 period which was not part of the report "Analysis of fatal fires in Norway in the 2005-2014 period". The project has focused on fatal fires that have occurred in buildings. Initially, the following research questions were defined: 1. Which risk factors are associated with those who perish in fires in Norway? 2. What are the causes of fatal fires in Norway?
