This is good information for everyone, but particularly our older population. According to the US Fire Administration, “on average, more than 1,000 Americans aged 65 years and older die each year in home fires and more than 2,000 are injured. Moreover, older adults are 2.5 times more likely to die in a residential fire than the rest of the population.”
