Home fire statistics

Did you know that between 2012 and 2016, local fire departments responded to 52,050 fires related to heating equipment? In a report issued by The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), heating equipment is listed as a leading cause of fires in the United States. SERVPRO® of Plainfield/Naperville South responds to fire damage emergencies often during the winter months in the Naperville area and we see the damage even a small fire can cause.

• 20 percent occurring between 8:00 p.m. and midnight.
• The fewest fires occur between midnight and 8:00 a.m. (18 percent), but these fires caused almost half of the heating fire deaths.
