Structure Fires In Rockford
According to FEMA, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that residential structure fires are not the leading cause of fires in the country but they are responsible for a good majority of damages. Residential structure fires account for approximately 25% of all fires in the country. These fires make up 83% of all fire deaths, 77% of all fire injuries, and 64% of all direct monetary costs. Victims of fires that have burn injuries may need long-term care to help them recover both physically and mentally.
