DOE experienced no fire-related fatalities, but three off-site firefighters from the nearby Manorville fire department were injured during a BNL range fire on April 9, 2012. There were 78 fire loss events in CY2012 (a 20% drop from the 98 events reported in CY2011) which resulted in an estimated $1.8 million in total DOE fire losses. These total losses were approximately 22% less than last year ($2.3 million); excluding the CY2011 Los Conchas (LANL) range fire, which caused $62 million in damages.
