Solutions for Residential Occupancies
Each year, residential fires account for the majority of fire-related deaths and injuries in Canada and North America, as well as a tremendous cost to individuals and society.
Taking Care to Prevent Disaster
Residential buildings come in many forms—single family dwellings, university dormitories, multi-floor apartment buildings, hotels and motels, and more—each of which presents fire safety challenges. A fire in a residential building can be devastating—particularly in larger, older structures that might have used combustible materials and that might lack adequate exits.
To reduce the impact of fires and to increase safety for occupants, care must be taken to apply proper construction and fire safety measures.
