Abstract

Fire prediction and prevention is closely related to public security. In this paper, we propose a chimney fire prediction model using data collected by the Twente Fire Brigade. Random forests are used to select explanatory variables from a large set of candidates. Furthermore, we build a nested Poisson generalized linear model based on house types and weather variables. Plausible predictions are obtained, that capture the salient spatial and temporal patterns seen in the data.
