The risk of fatal residential fires is known to be differentiated by sociodemographic factors. However, often prevention measures are introduced generally in a population, thereby perhaps affecting the effectiveness of these interventions. By using a 20-year high-quality register over fatal fires in Sweden and a previously validated Boolean expressions regarding the effectiveness for specific interventions, this study investigates the theoretical effectiveness of fire interventions in relation to different sociodemographic variables and fatal residential fires. The results show that the effectiveness of different fire-related prevention measures varies considerably in relation to different sociodemographic variables such as age, sex, municipal characteristics and living conditions. As such, the paper highlights the importance of matching the correct fire prevention measure to each individual depending upon sociodemographic risk factors in order to achieve maximal effectiveness.

已知致命的居民起火危险可以通过社会人口统计学因素加以区分。但是，通常在人群中普遍采用了预防措施，从而可能影响这些干预措施的有效性。通过使用瑞典20年高质量的致命火灾登记簿以及先前经过验证的关于特定干预措施有效性的布尔表达式，本研究调查了针对不同社会人口统计学变量和致命住宅火灾的火灾干预措施的理论有效性。结果表明，与火灾有关的各种预防措施的有效性在不同的社会人口统计学变量（例如年龄，性别，城市特征和生活条件）方面存在很大差异。因此，
