Overview
Fires that take place in residences are the deadliest fires that occur, according to the United States Fire Administration and the National Fire Data Center.
NASFM’s mission is to protect lives, property and the environment from fire. Our primary focus is on preventing fires from occurring in the first place, but if fires do occur, it is crucial to minimize the damage they cause. NASFM encourages manufacturers to make consumer products as fire-safe as they can be. Public education to encourage care with and around ignition sources is another key factor in this equation. NASFM also encourages the development and improvement of technologies that can help prevent, detect, alert people to, and suppress fires.
