Office of State Fire Marshal
Fire Fatality Reporting
Since 1986, the State Fire Marshal’s Office has collected various statistics related to fire fatalities in South Carolina. These statistics are analyzed at the end of each month to assess the total number of fire deaths, deaths by county, causes of death, smoke alarm statuses, types of structures involved in the fire, and the ages of deceased. The use of these statistics has aided us in monitoring and evaluating the decrease in fire fatalities. In an effort to streamline information gathering and sharing, you can view monthly and yearly fire fatality statistics online. Please download and complete it on your computer. When the form is completed, please fax to 803-896-9806, attention of Chandler Price. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please call 803-896-1250 or you may send an email to pricew@llr.sc.gov.
