Fire Deaths

Four people lost their lives to fire in 2024. Three teenagers died in a car crash that resulted in a fire, and an older man died in a home fire caused by the overuse of an electrical source. PFA’s jurisdiction exceeds in safety in many ways; we offer extensive community education, building plan reviews, fire suppression system inspections, and fast response times, yet even here we are not immune from loss caused by fire. Please take a moment to acknowledge these four people and do something to make your home safer today; check your smoke alarm, create a fire escape plan, clean hazardous materials out of your garage, learn hands-only CPR, or study fire safety resources.
