Fire Safety 101: Protect Your Properties & Residents

Multifamily housing property fires are one of the most common disasters that cause major damage to communities nationwide. Whether the fire started in one unit and spread or it started as a wildfire, there are a few ways you can put up a defense in order to protect your property and residents. 

Some fires can be prevented by taking certain safety measures, while other types will happen regardless. It is important to have a plan for all types of fires to reduce damage and injury to your residents and properties.  

Follow along as we outline how to prepare for and prevent multifamily housing property fires.
