2025-04-11_CTIF Statistics Reminder


Dear colleagues.

The Center of Fire Statistics of CTIF (CFS-CTIF) would like to ask you to send the Center's statistical data for 2023 (Table 1).
Center begins to prepare the report "World Fire Statistics № 30".
Deadline: 1 May 2025.
You can download all the reports on the website of CTIF:
https://www.ctif.org/world-fire-statistics

For the new report, we have included a survey on the topic of "high-rise buildings" (Table 2).

As long as there are no concrete objections from the individual Member States, we will communicate exclusively in English. If necessary, we can use other languages as a means of communication. However, this requires a concrete agreement. We will send out a monthly reminder to better coordinate the work on the new CTIF statistics report. We want to inform you which CTIF member countries have already sent data (Table 3).

As always, questions and comments are welcome.

Kind regards
Center of Fire Statistics of CTIF
Dr. Peter Wagner
