The paper deals with approaches to fire loss classification and quantification. Direct and indirect loss, total loss per fire and the relation of direct and indirect loss to the gross domestic product (GDP) are calculated. Furthermore, the Statgraphics Centurion XV package is used to express: total loss prediction for selected probabilities and probabilities for selected total fire loss values. The results are discussed and conclusions drawn in form of recommendations for the Fire & Rescue Services management in the Slovak republic. 1. Introduction This paper deals with the topic of fire loss classification and quantification. An analysis was carried out, using the available data which represent direct fire losses in the Slovak Republic. Direct loss was also supplemented by a quantitative expression of indirect loss. The aim of the paper is, based on statistical analysis, to offer managerial information on the probability of total loss in €, as well as the associated probabilities of loss occurrence. The outcomes of the analysis are then transformed into a set of recommendations for the Fire & Rescue Service management.
