This report contains an analysis of historical data on fire occurrence in fatal and less serious crashes as a function of crash, vehicle, and driver characteristics that influence the likelihood of postcollision vehicle fires. This report is organized into four sections. The first section contains raw cross tabulations of the data. The second section constructs multivariate statistical models. Section three examines raw cross tabulations of data from the State of Michigan from 1982 to 1991. Section four is based on the National Accident Sampling System Crashworthiness Data System (NASS CDS) for burn injuries from 1988 to 1993.
