An analysis of the fire hazard level of protection facilities of various risk categories in the Russian Federation in 2020-2021 showed that the highest loss of life per 1 fire occurs at protection facilities of low and moderate risk categories. The highest probability of escaping from the zone of exposure to fire hazards is at high–risk facilities; the lowest is at low-risk facilities. In the range from low-risk objects to high-risk objects, there is a decrease in the proportion of fires due to careless handling of fire and NPUiE furnaces and an increase in the proportion of fires due to NPUiE of electrical equipment, malfunction of production equipment or disruption of the production process, as well as due to NPPB during electric gas welding and other fire works.
