the Dangerous problem with fire safety
Fire Extinguishers are not designed for Seniors or people with physical disabilities.
Traditional fire extinguishers require two hands, strength, and fine motor skills, making them inaccessible for people with mobility impairments, amputations, or nerve damage. Their heavy weight and design also pose challenges for seniors or anyone with strength or coordination issues, leaving them vulnerable in emergencies.
These populations are also most at risk in a fire safety scenario..
-
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) says that about 15% of fire deaths in the U.S. happen to people with physical disabilities.
-
Older people are even more at risk. According to Fema, people aged 65-74 are 2.3 times likelier to die in a fire than the average population. This jumps up to 2.8 times as likely for 75-84 year olds!
