Overview
This research aimed to contribute to a reduction in the incidence and consequences of unintended fires in New Zealand households by estimating the prevalence and characteristics of risk factors across a range of dwellings and household types. These findings provided a basis for developing practical risk assessment tools and delivery mechanisms for typical and hard-to-access households.
