Fire safety gaps in U S cities draw warning from underwriters
A circular from the National Board of Fire Underwriters cites European cities with lower per capita fire losses than the United States, noting the absence of building regulations in many small American towns. It argues that lax rules and construction standards fuel higher fire rates than in Europe. The report contrasts 0.86 fires per 1000 in 30 foreign cities with 4.05 per 1000 in 252 U S cities. It calls for stricter construction rules to reduce damage and loss.
