House Fire Statistics
According to the National Fire Protection Association , you can expect your home to experience some type of house fire on an average of five times throughout the lifetime of occupying the home. Out of those house fires, only one of them will be reported to the proper authorities to prevent any damage from occurring. The chances of someone residing in the home being injured from an unexpected house fire are one in ten. On average, a household can unfortunately expect a house fire about every 15 years in accordance to an expected 78 years of living in the home. Typically, house fires involve small incidences like electrical fires, paper fires, or fires caused by unattended cigarettes . However, whether big or small, you want your home to be protected from fires.
According to the Carbon Monoxide Information Center , the United States sees over 150 individuals succumb to the dangerous toxin. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that has no odor and is considered the invisible killer because humans cannot detect harmful levels of the gas without the help of a carbon monoxide detector. Most carbon monoxide poisoning takes place because of faulty furnaces, fire places, stoves, or water heaters .
