National Fire Protection Association estimates that residential fires in the
U.S. Kill 4,000-5,000 people annually and injure over 20,000. The leading cause of accidental multiple
death fires in residential properties is cigarettes. The second most common cause is from fixed or
portable heating equipment, for example: wood stoves, kerosene heaters, gas or
electric cooking stoves. Fire officials
estimate that at least 50% of lives lost due to residential fires could be
saved by installing early warning fire detection devices and developing and
practicing an evacuation plan. There are
two types of residential fire detection systems: heat and smoke detectors. The basic residential detection system relies
primarily on the use of smoke detectors. The standard does not require the use of heat detectors as part of the
basic protection scheme, but it is recommended that heat detectors be used to
supplement the basic smoke detector system.
