I am a Ph.D. student at UC Boulder, researching the optimization of water
distribution systems.

I need statistical data on the frequency of fires.

Probability that a fire would occur, during a one year period; single
family homes, apartments, shopping malls, warehouses, hospitals, etc.

Another source of useful information would be the fire insurance rates for
the above structures as a function of available fire flow and pressure.

Any information or reference that you care to provide, would be very much
appreciated.

Sincerely,

Istvan Lippai
