Note:

Fire loss cover damages caused by explosions, but only in cases followed by fire (i.e. some terrorist acts)
|
|---|
One of possible reasons for low direct fire loss in advanced industrial countries is e.g. that those countries pay more attention to prevention, or they have secured early arrival to fires, which all minimize loss. Other reasons could be that in some countries low direct fire loss reflects low level of fire insurance.

Data from officially published annual costs for constructions and reconstructions of buildings that are monitored in the Czech Republic by the Czech Statistics Institute in Chapter Building Industry. Fire experts of United Kingdom estimate costs for fire protection from 1 % for dwellings to 7 % for facilities, in USA from 2.5 % for dwellings to12 % for private non-domestic buildings, and in Canada from 2 % for houses to13.2 % for high-rise buildings.
In CR costs present approx. 3 % from total costs for construction of buildings, based on experts from Fire & Research Attests Institute, in 1998. Recently mass building-up of industrial, commercial, store and administration objects suppose higher costs, compared to the data in the table above. A new survey of these costs in CR was not made due to complicacy of problems.

For objective estimation of these data real GDP of the certain country, counting of costs per 1 inhabitant, eventually other context should be known. Only few countries provide comparable data. Even data resources and methodology differ among countries (e.g. to costs for fire stations in Denmark cover relations with using of stations by ambulance and other rescue activities and equipment).
Fire and Rescue Service of CR fulfils tasks in the scope and under conditions determined by specific legal regulations, mainly by law on the Fire Rescue Service of CR, law on fire protection, law on the Integrated Rescue System, and law on Crisis Management.
Fire units fulfil tasks in the area of fire protection, the Integrated Rescue System, and also in the area of population protection. From this point of view it is not possible to compare costs in this area with other countries, which are able to separate fire costs.
