>U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 4,980 structure fires in educational properties in 2011–2015, annually. These fires caused annual averages of one civilian death, 70 civilian injuries, and $70 million in direct property damage. Nearly seven in ten of the fires in educational properties (69%) occurred in nursery, elementary, middle, or high

So roughly 25 deaths and 1750 injuries in the last 25 years in the US. I think this is amazingly low considering the 4,980 structure fires in schools per year.
