ACCORDING TO THE NFPA'S TRENDS AND PATTERNS OF U.S. FIRE LOSS REPORT IN 2017, The fire death rate per million population fell 70% from 34.4 in 1977 to 10.2 in 2015." The decline is largely attributed to the increased presence of smoke detectors, which the law requires in most residential dwellings in the country, as well as a reduction in smoking by the general population. A study by epidemiologists from University of California, Davis, reported, "Two-thirds of all U.S. reductions in fire fatalities related to smoking from 1984 to 1995 were attributed to reductions in cigarette consumption." Two good actions; two great results.
