A new report from our National Fire Data Center shows that an estimated 6,600 home garage fires occur each year, causing 30 deaths, 400 injuries and $457 million in property loss. Fires originating in garages tend to be larger and spread farther than fires that start in other areas of a home. Garages equipped with built-in protection help control fire and life safety risks.
