As a result 2,895 people died in residential fires, 14,000 were injured, and property damage/loss was $7,546,000,000.00. While 96% of all homes have smoke detectors, a 2001 - 2004 study found that detectors were present in only 60% of residences where lives were lost in a fire.

Know the differences between Ionization and Photoelectric smoke detectors. Test your smoke alarm today!
