Abstract Key cost components forming the total cost of fire used in a selection of previous international studies have been identified and compared, with a future focus of revisiting the Canadian context. The potential influence of several factors on the selection and categorization of cost components was considered along with novel contributions to analysis approaches. End-user priorities (e.g. fire service, policy makers or insurance industry) may have an effect on the categorization approach due to specific interests, potential increased ease of access to data and intended applications of results. Selection of inputs may also be influenced by contextual aspects, including considerations of the local region (e.g. demographics, organization of the fire services or extent of insurance coverage) and timing (e.g. recent events, emerging fire safety challenges or trends). The availability, quality or lack of data then influences what estimation methodology may be best suited, as well as the categorization approach. Such examples of influencing factors make direct comparison of cost-of-fire estimates difficult; however, understanding the effects of these factors will contribute to developing an updated analysis that is applicable to the intended context and may include comparability to other studies or components of these, if useful.

国际火灾总成本估算中使用的组件分类比较

摘要 已经确定并比较了构成先前国际研究中使用的火灾总成本的关键成本组成部分,未来的重点是重新审视加拿大的情况。考虑了几个因素对成本构成的选择和分类的潜在影响以及对分析方法的新贡献。最终用户的优先事项(例如消防服务、政策制定者或保险业)可能会由于特定的兴趣、潜在增加的数据访问便利性和结果的预期应用而对分类方法产生影响。输入的选择也可能受到环境因素的影响,包括对当地区域(例如人口统计、消防组织或保险范围)和时间(例如最近的事件、新出现的消防安全挑战或趋势)。数据的可用性、质量或缺乏会影响最适合的估算方法以及分类方法。这些影响因素的例子使得直接比较火灾成本估算变得困难;然而,了解这些因素的影响将有助于开发适用于预期背景的更新分析,并且可能包括与其他研究或这些研究的组成部分的可比性(如果有用)。
