Incidents in Jordan reported to the Public Fire Brigade during 2008-2014 involving fires are investigated. A detailed analysis of about 131,000 accidents covering all types of fire is presented. Statistical comparisons are made based on the type of accidents and its accompanying deaths and injuries. The results obtained illustrated that half of the total number of incidents are wild land and farms and other 30% were accounted for used tyres and solid waste and residential homes together. Between 2012 and 2014 electrical wiring and equipment were responsible for more than 40% of fire incidents in residential homes.
