Fire departments respond to about 1,752,000 fires every year

4,380 people are killed on the scene of house fires every year, that doesn't include the people that die later due to injuries from house fires. So that's 1 person every 2 hours.

17,520 people are injured burned, or disfigured in house fires every year, so that's 2 people every hour.

Fire causes $8,760,000,000 in property damage every year!

Many of these fires are due to people leaving on the hob or the grill etc. and forgetting they have left it on.

But some are caused by people on purpose!
