Abstract
This is a list of high-rise building fires where the fire spread in some way via the facade of the building. The data was found through searching Google for news reports and the fire safety literature. It is therefore likely to be biased towards high-profile events, and may have missed some smaller fires. The data from this table has been used in the following: *M. Bonner, G.
