How This Tracker Works
The North Texas Structure Fire Tracker uses incident-level information from the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) public dataset.
For this quarterly report, the analysis covers reported incidents from April 1 through June 30, 2026 and focuses on structure-fire incidents associated with the 15 fire departments included in the report.
Structure-fire incidents were grouped into three categories for this report: Residential, Commercial, and Other Structure.
A category of “Other Structure” should not be interpreted as a single property type. It represents structure-fire records that did not fall within the residential or commercial classification used for this report.
This tracker is intended as a community information resource. Reported incident counts should not be interpreted as a measure of fire risk for an individual property, neighborhood, or municipality. Differences in population, geography, development, reporting participation, and incident classification can affect the numbers.
Is Your Property Prepared for the Unexpected?
A fire can create both immediate damage and long-term financial consequences. Reviewing your insurance before a loss can help you understand what your policy covers, what limits apply, and what responsibilities you may have after a claim.
