for fire-fighting and will typically involve a part of a single room in an
apartment or house. And a small size fire is in this context defined as a
fire that was extinguished before the arrival of the fire service, extinguished
by small tools or a chimney fire.
The total number of registered fires is known for the years 1989-2009.
For the years 2006-2009 the total number of registered building fires are
known, and by assuming that the share of building fires in respect to
the total number of registered fires, can be considered as constant for
every year back to 1989, the total number of building fires can be calculated
for the years 1989-2005.
Furthermore the building fires that occurred in the years 2006-2009 are
subcategorised into industrial building, detached house, undetached
house and apartment building fires. And by once again assuming that
the average of these shares are representative for the years 1989-2005,
the building fires from the earlier years are also subdivided into these
four building types.
Table 7.19 states the registered activity data for building fires for the
years 2006-2009, divided in both size and building type. The calculated
averages describes the average share of building fires from 2006-2009 of
a certain type and size, in relation to all fires (building and nonbuilding)
of the same size and during the same four years period.

As mentioned above, it is assumed that the average percentages provided
by the years 2006-2009 are compliable for the years 1989-2005.
Hereby, similar activity data can be estimated back to 1989. Activity
data from 1980-1988 are estimated based on the trend provided by the
years 1989-2009.
