✦ Synopsis

R Fire hazard assessments di!er from "re risk assessments, which couple the magnitude of expected "re loss with the probability of "re occurrence, for a broad range of "re scenarios, to provide a quantitative description of the overall "re risk. Fire risk assessments are used less frequently in engineered "re protection analyses and designs of buildings, in part due to the lack of widely available and pertinent statistical loss data, the lack of probabilistic analysis and design tools tailored for use in "re risk assessment, and the lack of acceptance of quantitative risk measures as an appropriate indicator of the &real' risk.
