Methodology

Cities ranked by 5yr loss from the city_fire_profiles table. NFIRS coverage is voluntary so totals reflect departments that report; all per-capita rates use SimpleMaps 2023 population estimates. The letter grade in the right column ranks each city by per-capita incidents and civilian fire deaths against every city we profile (how grades work). See /rankings/best/ for the highest-grade cities.
