We follow NFPA 72 and LifeSafety 101 fire codes which include proper placement of detection devices, the ability to notify occupants to evacuate the premises, and an immediate dispatch of the fire department with alarm monitoring service. According to NFPA in 2007 there were 530,500 structure fires (up 1% from 2006), causing 3,000 civilian deaths, 15,350 civilian injuries, and $10.6 billion in property damage reported in the US.
