MOST HOME FIRE DEATHS LINKED TO LACK OF WORKING SMOKE ALARMS Washington, D.C. – (October 28, 2009) The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) launched an effort to encourage everyone to install and maintain home smoke alarms and, if possible, sprinklers. More than 3,000 people die in home fires each year, and the majority of them have no working smoke alarm. To prevent these deaths, the USFA, a division of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is sponsoring the nationwide *Install. Inspect. Protect. Campaign,* which emphasizes that “Smoke Alarms Save Lives.” Click *here* for full story.
	During 2005, an estimated 15,600 home structure fires started by candles were reported to local fire departments. These fires resulted in an estimated 150 civilian deaths, 1,270 civilian injuries and an estimated direct property loss of $539 million. Homes include dwellings, duplexes, manufactured housing and apartments For more safety tips and fact sheets, go to the National Fire Prevention Association web site.
