Abstract
Fires are particularly deadly for the elderly, as their ability to escape from a fire is often limited by mobility. In fact, the fire‐related death rates for both men and women, in both the 75‐84 and 85+ age categories is nearly equal to fire‐related hospitalization rate for that same gender/age category.
