Fires caused by spontaneous combustion or chemical reaction accounted for an estimated average of 14,070 reported years between 2005 and 2009. These included 3,200 structure fires, 1,150 vehicle fires, 5,250 outside non-trash and unclassified fires, and 4,460 outside trash or rubbish fires. The most common occupancy types for structure fires were residential (50% of fires), storage (12%) mercantile or business (9%) and manufacturing or processing (9%). Half of the vehicle fires (50%) started by spontaneous combustion or chemical reaction occurred in passenger vehicles, and 16% in road freight or transportation vehicles. More than one-third of vehicle fires began in the trunk or cargo area. Unclassified organic materials were the most common item first ignited in outside and unclassified fires (excluding outside trash or rubbish fires) (28%), followed by light vegetation including grass (26%). In outside trash or rubbish fires, wood chips, sawdust, or shavings were the type of material first ignited in 13% of fires. These estimates are based on data from the U.S. Fire Administration's (USFA's) National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) and the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA's) annual fire department experience survey.
