USFA Releases Restaurant Building Fires Report
Contact:
USFA Press Office: (301) 447-1853
Emmitsburg, MD – The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) United States Fire Administration (USFA) issued a special report today examining the characteristics of restaurant building fires. The report, Restaurant Building Fires, was developed by USFA’s National Fire Data Center and is based on 2007 to 2009 data from the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS).
According to the report:
- An estimated 5,900 restaurant building fires occur annually in the United States, resulting in an estimated average of 75 injuries and $172 million in property loss.
- The leading cause of all restaurant building fires is cooking at 59 percent and nearly all of these cooking fires (91 percent) are small, confined fires with limited damage.
- While cooking is the leading cause of all restaurant building fires as well as the smaller, confined restaurant building fires, electrical malfunction is the leading cause of the larger, nonconfined restaurant building fires.
- Nonconfined restaurant building fires most often start in cooking areas and kitchens (41 percent).
- Deep fryers (9 percent), ranges (7 percent), and miscellaneous kitchen and cooking equipment (5 percent) are the leading types of equipment involved in ignition in nonconfined restaurant building fires.
- Smoke alarms were reported as present in 44 percent of nonconfined restaurant building fires. In addition, full or partial automatic extinguishment systems, mainly sprinklers, were present in 47 percent of nonconfined restaurant building fires.
Restaurant Building Fires is part of the Topical Fire Report Series. Topical reports explore facets of the U.S. fire problem as depicted through data collected in NFIRS. Each topical report briefly addresses the nature of the specific fire or fire-related topic, highlights important findings from the data, and may suggest other resources to consider for further information. Also included are recent examples of fire incidents that demonstrate some of the issues addressed in the report or that put the report topic in context.

ORANGE — Carol Herman was attending an early-morning church service today when she learned her apartment building in Orange was on fire.
The pastor broke the news to the congregation about the five-alarm blaze that was ripping through the four-building, 96-unit complex at 399 Lincoln Ave., forcing scores of residents into the street.
Though she lost her home and her belongings, Herman saw a silver lining.
“It’s only material things, praise the Lord,” she said this afternoon as the fire continued to burn.
The five-alarm blaze, reported shortly before 8 a.m., heavily damaged all four buildings, leaving roughly 100 people homeless, Orange Mayor Eldridge Hawkins Jr. said.
The fire began in the southwest corner of the top floor of one of the buildings, then quickly spread to the three adjoining five-story structures, he said.
By the end of the day, the building’s fifth floor had collapsed and part of the fourth floor had also fallen through, Hawkins said.
There were no major injuries reported and the cause of the fire is still under investigation, he said. It is not yet known if any residents will be allowed to returned to the building.
During the morning, thick plumes of smoke billowing from the top of the buildings could be seen for miles around as residents who were forced out of their homes looked on.
Cherissa Cole of East Orange said her aunt and her husband, fifth-floor residents Doreen and Lloyd Cameron, “lost everything” in the blaze.
“She can’t even speak right now. She had her money in there and she had just bought new furniture,” said Cole, who came to Orange to help her relatives.
Firefighters arriving on the scene moved first to evacuate the H-shaped complex.
“Fire suppression was delayed because rescues had to be made,” Fire Chief Bob Manganelli said.
He added a child reported a missing parent, but it had not been determined today whether the person was missing or out of town.
Hundreds of firefighters from departments across Essex County battled the blaze throughout the day and into the evening. The fire intensified during the afternoon as flames frequently appeared where there had been only smoke.
A temporary emergency medical staging area was set up in the gym of nearby Orange High School. As the rainy afternoon grew colder, an increasing number of residents gathered in the gym.
Martin Campbell, disaster team leader for the American Red Cross, said a shelter with beds would be set up tonight. He expected at least 100 people to require shelter.
Victor Mendez, an emergency medical supervisor at University Hospital in Newark, who was in charge of the medical team at the high school, said no one was taken to the hospital.
Hawkins said he was grateful for the lack of injuries, but added, “People losing belongings are shaken up. It’s an emotional experience.”
A first-floor resident, Wantales Cherubin, said he and his family were awakened around 8 a.m. by fire engine sirens, and were soon ordered to evacuate. “I’m nervous, I’m shaking,” Cherubin said as he stood outside the building.
Another first-floor resident, Eldon Thomas, also reported being roused out of bed by firefighters.
Thomas said his father had already left for church and he was planning to join him, but he stayed around the building because of the fire.
“I’m happy to be alive,” Thomas said.
Tynise Gordon, who lives on the third floor, said she wasn’t able to take any belongings when she fled with her daughter.
“I’m just glad I got my family out,” she said. “Hopefully we can try to salvage some things.”

Multi-alarm fire at apartment complex in Orange forces out scores of residents
Blaze spread to top floors of four adjoining buildings in the complex
| Video from a fire at an apartment complex in Orange |
ORANGE — Firefighters continue to battle a multi-alarm blaze that has ripped through an apartment complex this morning and forced out scores of residents, authorities said.
The fire began on the upper floor of the five-story brick building at 399 Lincoln Ave., and has since spread to three adjoining buildings, officials said.
No injuries have been reported yet, said Mayor Eldridge Hawkins Jr. The fire was contained to the top floor, with lower stories likely to suffer only water damage.
He said there were 96 units in the building.
Thick plumes of smoke could be seen billowing from the top of one of the buildings, as more than 100 residents forced out of their homes looked on. A temporary emergency medical staging area has been set up in the gym of nearby Orange High School.
Martin Campbell, disaster team leader for the American Red Cross, said a shelter with beds will be set up later today, most likely in the high school or a nearby church. It was unclear how many residents, if any, would be allowed to return to their homes tonight.
Victor Mendez, an emergency medical supervisor at University Hospital in Newark, who has been at the scene, said no one was taken to the hospital.
One building resident, Wantales Cherubin, who lives on the first floor, said he and his family were awakened around 8 a.m. by fire engine sirens, and were soon ordered to evacuate. “I’m nervous, I’m shaking,” Cherubin said as he stood outside the building.
Fire trucks from several nearby towns are assisting, including West Orange, Montclair, Millburn and Roseland.
West Orange Firefighter Joe Cicarone said the blaze began on the fifth floor of one of the buildings.
