Compendex Database Compendex is the most comprehensive
bibliographic database of scientific and technical engineering research available, covering all engineering disciplines.
It includes millions of bibliographic citations and abstracts from thousands of engineering journals and conference proceedings.
When combined with the Engineering Index Backfile (1884-1969), Compendex covers well over 120 years of core engineering literature.

Fire Statistics - Ontario The Office of the Fire Marshal has an
historical database which contains reports filed by fire departments on every fire call
Municipal fire departments report to the OFM on every call they attend (fires and non fires). This data is in a database that goes back to 1983.
This data can be viewed in many ways - by province, by municipality, over time, at specific types of occupancies, ignition sources, and even by injuries or fatalities.
Summaries can be provided on Ontario loss fires, fires with a reported injury, fatality or dollar loss, for the fire year period from 2004 to 2009
The OFM has done several multi year studies on why, when and where of Ontario fires
