BUILDING FIRE INSIGHT
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), more than 100,000 fires occur across the country each year, with apartment building fires being the most common. The primary causes of these fires include negligence in the kitchen during cooking, gas heaters and leaks, electrical fires caused by faulty wiring, smoking, and arson.
In the event of a fire in an apartment building, it is advisable to immediately inform the police. It is also important to avoid the kitchen, as it is the most common area where fires start. Stay close to the ground and carefully make your way towards the nearest exit. If the doorknobs are hot, do not open the doors. If unable to exit the apartment, remain still and wait for firefighters to arrive. Apartment buildings should be equipped with regularly inspected fire alarms, functional fire extinguishers, emergency lighting, and emergency evacuation maps. Landlords have an obligation to ensure there are no gas leaks or electrical short-circuits that could lead to a fire.
Can landlords be held responsible for personal injuries or losses resulting from an apartment fire? Landlords have a legal obligation to provide safe living conditions for their tenants, which includes clearly posted fire exits and evacuation plans, fire safety equipment such as alarms and extinguishers, proper emergency lighting, safe gas connections with regular inspection and maintenance, and safe electrical installations. Landlords should also carry fire insurance to cover injuries, damages, or losses to third-party victims.
