We respond to fire damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Miami.

If you live in a high-rise building, you are less susceptible to fire damage. According to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the risks are lower due to a greater use of fire protection systems and features in high-rise buildings compared to shorter buildings. Our local team in Miami Beach restores fire damage throughout the year. Here are some more high-rise building fires facts from the NFPA:

• The fire death rate per 1,000 fires and the average loss per fire and associated losses are generally lower in high-rise buildings than in other buildings of the same property use
  • A major reason why risks are lower is probably the much greater use of fire protection systems and features in high-rise buildings as compared to shorter buildings.
• High-rise buildings have lower percentages of fires with flame damage beyond the room of origin, providing further evidence of impact from fire protection systems and features:
  • Apartments (4 percent of high-rise fires vs. 10 percent in shorter buildings)
  • Hotels (4 percent of high-rise fires vs. 11 percent in shorter buildings)
  • Dormitories (2 percent of high-rise vs. 1 percent in shorter buildings)
