Every year, thousands of workplaces experience fire-related incidents that can cause injuries, property damage, business interruptions, and financial losses. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), U.S. fire departments respond to hundreds of thousands of structure fires annually, with workplace environments requiring strong prevention and emergency response measures.
