Fire Loss in the US during 2012

In 2012, a Fire Department in the US responded to a fire somewhere in the nation every 23 seconds. A fire occurred in a structure every 66 seconds, a home fire occurred every 85 seconds. Every 156 seconds, a vehicle caught fire, and every 46 seconds there was a fire in an outside property.
