Maintenance Statistics
Smoke alarms:
Smoke alarms save lives and money.
38% of residences had an operable alarm during a fire, but these fires accounted for only 8% of total property loss.
Only 6% of U.S. homes are not equipped with smoke alarms, yet 40% of residences with fire had no installed alarm.
Alarms operate with more frequency in apartments than in one and two family homes. The reason may be that
professional property managers are generally responsible for maintaining the alarms, not the apartment dwellers.
Multiple-fatality fires are less likely to have working smoke alarms
Each year, there are an estimated 405,000 fires in residential structures, which cause nearly 3,600 fatalities, 18,600
injuries, and $4.7 billion in property loss.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors:
Carbon monoxide (CO) is the number one cause of poisoning deaths in the United States. According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, "there are approximately 2,100 unintentional deaths from carbon monoxide (CO) every year in the U.S. and the use of CO Alarms could potentially prevent many of these fatalities." In addition, more than 10,000 CO injuries occur annually from this colorless, odorless and tasteless poison.
Carbon monoxide (CO) can be produced when burning any fuel: gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil, wood and coal. It is the product of incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide can kill in minutes or hours depending on the level of CO in the air.
