Residential Fires and Safety in Maryland
Residential fires pose a significant danger to homeowners and surrounding communities, often leading to injuries, property loss, and extensive damage. Fires can spread rapidly, particularly when fueled by high winds, dry conditions, or flammable materials.
Common causes of home and shed fires include electrical malfunctions, unattended open flames, heating equipment, and faulty wiring. Once a fire spreads beyond its initial source, it can quickly become difficult to control, putting nearby structures and residents at risk.
Those injured in residential fires may face long-term medical treatments, rehabilitation, and financial burdens from medical expenses and property loss. If a fire is caused by negligence, faulty products, or unsafe conditions, victims may be entitled to compensation for damages.
