Fire, Smoke, and Soot Damage in San Diego Office Complex?
4/25/2022 (Permalink)
Our Centre City Uptown team responds to fire damage emergencies every year in San Diego. According to a report published by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), United States Fire Departments responded to 3340 fires occurring in general business offices, banks, veterinary or research offices, engineering, mailing firms, and post offices each year during the five years covered in the report. Here are some more statistics from the NFPA on office fires:
- Fewer fires occur in this occupancy on the weekends since they are less likely to be fully populated
- The peak times of day for these fires were between noon and 2:00 pm
- Less than one-third of the fires (31 percent) occurred between 7 pm and 7 am, but these fires accounted for 67 percent of the direct property damage
- Nineteen percent of fires occurred on weekends, but these incidents caused 31 percent of the associated property loss. These findings highlight the need for automatic detection and extinguishing equipment to protect these properties when they aren’t occupied.
