Abstract

<p class="0abstract">Due to the increased rate of fire accidents which cause many damages and losses to people souls, material, and property in Basra city. The necessity of analyzing and mining the data of the fire accidents became an urgent need to find a solution. The need increased for a solution that helps to mitigate and reduce the number of accidents. In this paper, data mining techniques and applications including data preprocessing, data cleaning, and data exploration have been applied. Data mining applications is performed to analyze and discover the hidden knowledge in ten years of data (fire accidents happened from 2010 – 2019) which is approximately 20k record of accidents. These data mining techniques along with the association rules algorithm is applied on the dataset. The applied approach and techniques resulted in discovering the patterns and the nature of the fire accidents in Basra city. It also helped to reach to recommendations and resolutions for mitigating the fire accidents and its occurrence rate.</p>

Highlights

The Issue of increased rate of fire accidents in Basra city requires a technical approach and research to mitigate and help find solutions to decrease and to avoid the high rate of accidents
The applications of data mining techniques and algorithms is applied to data of ten years of fire accidents in Basra city
The date, the reason, the safety material used, the type, and severity level of an accident. It consisted of approximately 20k records of data representing the fire accidents occurred in Basra city from 2010 – 2019

Summary

Introduction

The Issue of increased rate of fire accidents in Basra city requires a technical approach and research to mitigate and help find solutions to decrease and to avoid the high rate of accidents. Basra is a city located south of Iraq, and is considered as the second largest city in Iraq. It is known as the center of oil production and refinery. Because of its strategic location on the Arab Gulf, it represents the main port of Iraq and the center of transportation, storage, and trade.
