Multifamily Residential Building Fires (2011-2013). Topical Fire Report Series, Volume 16, Issue 5, July 2015
From 2011 to 2013, multifamily residential building fires accounted for an annual estimated 106,000 reported fires. These fires accounted for 28 percent of all residential building fires responded to by fire departments across the nation. These fires resulted in an annual average of 395 deaths, 4,250 injuries, and 1.3 billion dollars in property loss. Multifamily residential buildings include structures such as apartments, town houses, row houses, condominiums, and other tenement properties. Multifamily residential buildings tend to have stricter building codes than one- and two-family buildings. Many multifamily residential buildings are rental properties, and they are usually required to comply with more stringent fire prevention statutes and regulations involving smoke alarms and sprinkler systems.
