largest home fire safety campaign in US history!
My Place is Fire Safe
2013 National Home Fire Safety CampaignEach year in the United States, an average of 2,500 children and adults lose their lives as a direct result of residential fires, with another 13,000 injured. On average, someone dies in a fire every 169 minutes, and someone will be injured every 30 minutes. These statistics, combined with the fact that many residential fire-related deaths remain preventable, are the driving forces behind this campaign.
While the number of fatalities and injuries caused by residential fires has continued to decline over the past several decades, many residential fire-related deaths remain preventable and continue to pose a significant public health problem.
The campaign’s objective is to encourage participants to become active in fire-safe practices and behaviors, including the importance of designing a fire escape plan, practicing fire safety as a family, testing and maintaining smoke alarms, ways to reduce potential fire hazards within the home, safe cooking practices and more.
100,000 schools, 20 million students, 15 million homes
