Focus on Fire Safety Fire Safety is everyone's responsibility. America's fire death rate is one of the highest per capita in the industrialized world. Fire kills 3,700 and injures more than 20,000 people each year. Firefighters pay a high price for this terrible fire record as well; approximately 100 firefighters die in the line of duty each year. Direct property losses due to fire reach almost $11 billion each year. Most of these deaths and losses can be prevented! Learn more at http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/citizens/index.shtm |
