The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) reports that every year in the United States, about 3,000 people lose their lives in residential fires. Most fire victims die from inhalation of smoke and toxic gases, not as a result of burns. Most deaths and injuries occur in fires that happen at night while victims are asleep.
