From reviewing multiple accident records, Boeing as well as others in the commercial airplane transportation industry have determined that an accident is rarely the result of only one event. The information in this review of aviation data with associated fires is broken into three parts. First, there is an examination of the commerical jet transport accidents from 1959 through 1993. This information is provided to offer a perspective regarding aviation accidents from a variety of causes. Then, the second part reviews how fire has influenced the accident record. Fire details are also provided to enhance understanding of airplane fire-related accidents. Finally, the third part examines some specific fire scenarios to illustrate the range of events that occur, since looking at the number of events often fails to illuminate the many parameters associated with an aspect of aviation accident data, such as fire-related events.
