The risk of fire is present in every urban area; however, the capacities and capabilities available in a particular state, region, municipality, or community in order to prevent it, prepare the society for it, and respond if the mentioned risk occurs could be limited. The article's aim is to identify the common fire risk sources (events), which could be summed up to form the total value of fire risk level in a particular area. The results of fire risk assessment (risk level), interlocutors can use in order to plan preventive (e.g. fire supervision test), preparedness (e.g., fire exercises, fire awareness-raising campaigns), and response measures (e.g., location of the fire station, response time, number of crew) for a particular area, e.g., the higher the level of fire risk, the more comprehensive measures are needed to reduce it and vice versa, thus ensuring data-based decision-making. Article researcher's method will be a literature review.
