Facade fires pose risks to life and property safety for building users. This study aims to analyze the fire risks on hospital facades that pose a danger to the structure. Within the scope of the study, fire risk analyzes were carried out on the facades of four small-scale hospitals located in the Nil & uuml;fer district of Bursa, Turkey. In the study, a checklist was created within the scope of the (BYKHY) and an on-site current situation analysis and fire regulation compliance analysis were carried out. Based on this, fire risk analysis was carried out in the context of the facades of the buildings in question using the L-type Matrix Method, which is one of the quantitative methods. In the L-type matrix method, the probability of risks occurring and the severity of the consequences that may occur when they occur are graded between 1 and 5. Accordingly, 4 risk groups were identified as a result of the fire risk analysis conducted in the context of hospital facades with the L-type Matrix method. As a result of these headings, 11 possible risks were identified. The possible causes, degree and severity of these risks were studied. It is suggested that the main results be introduced.
