Housefire statistics in the United States

The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other agents have released multiple statistics regarding fires across the country:

• It takes 30 seconds for a minor flame to morph into a major blaze. 
• Roughly 358,000 homes will have a structure fire each year.
• Throughout a five-year span, home fires cause several thousand fatalities and billions in property damage.

Did you know?

Along with the statistics listed above, there are many other facts about housefires that property owners may not be aware of. For example, the top causes are electrical malfunctions, heating equipment, and cooking-related incidents. Throughout the fall months, roughly 45% of fires are caused in homes using fireplaces as a heating source.
