| Abstract: | This paper undertook an exploratory study of relationships between the type of political dispensation (military and civilian), and the frequency and causes of fire outbreaks in Niger State, using simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that fires in domestic buildings were significantly more frequent during civilian dispensations. The paper recommended further research into this finding, and suggested that fire inspections of households should be rigorously pursued. Property rates could be tied to the level of compliance with fire safety regulations. |
