Fire occurs in only about 0.5 percent of all injury-producing automobile accidents. These fires result in death to 1 out of 8 persons involved. The two most probable ignition sources for automotive crash fires are sparks from damaged electrical systems and friction sparks generated by the impact. Approximately 200 passenger vehicles of 1000- to 6000-pound curb weight were examined on dealer lots and in wrecking yards to assess the probability of damage to electrical system components. A suggested safety standard for automotive electrical systems incorporating these methods is presented, along with recommendations for future study to reinforce the provisions of this standard.
