Is it is relation to the age of the homes or is more often due to neglect? I would be interested in seeing the numbers as well. It does seem as if CH has a lot of house fires.

Anecdotally, it feels like we have more house fires.

Lots of fires this year and too many fatalities. I did a search on this site: http://chpn.net/news/?s=house+fire There are 8 major house fires to date this year, and 10 house fires in '06. Looks like if things keep going the way they are, '07 will exceed last year. Hey john_m, do you know how CH ranks in relation to the rest of the city when it comes to house fires? Wow.
