Fire departments across the country respond to more than 1.25 million residential fires annually.  This includes over 3,500 deaths and 15,000 injuries. In the U.S. a fire department responds to a fire every 23 seconds and responds to a home fire every 89 seconds. While apartment or condo fires tend to make the news, the majority of fires occur in single family homes. While less fatalities occur in apartment or condo fires, the impact of a single fire can disrupt the lives of many families as a fire in a single apartment can impact the entire building.

Fires occurring in multi-family homes can greatly impact a number of residents due to the fire spread associated.
