Fireproof your Small Property Accounts

NFPA’s Fire Prevention Week™ Highlights Fire Safety.
Learn How You Can Protect your Small Property Accounts with Kinsale.

Key Takeaways:

• The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hosts Fire Prevention Week™ to highlight the importance of fire education, safety & protection
• Kinsale provides comprehensive Small Property coverage for accounts with up to $5M in TIV
• Dedicated territory managers help ensure the best coverage based on your accounts’ needs

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)’s annual Fire Prevention Week™ falls on October 6^th – 12^th, 2024. This year’s theme, “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!™,” underscores the lifesaving importance of working smoke alarms.

According to the NFPA:

• The NFPA reported 140,000 non-residential structure fires in 2022 that led to roughly $4B in direct property damage
• You may have as few as two minutes to exit a building safely once a smoke alarm sounds
• Interconnected smoke alarms that sound simultaneously offer the best protection
• Smoke alarms are only effective with proper installation & monthly testing
• Smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years or sooner if they stop responding to tests

Of course, even with precautions—fires still happen. Fortunately, Kinsale offers Small Property coverage to help accounts with up to $5M in TIV recover quickly.

Fire Prevention Week™ commemorates the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 which destroyed more than 17,400 structures. The NFPA has sponsored public observance of the week since 1922. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge established it as a national observance, making this annual event the longest-running public health observance in the United States.

The NFPA works alongside other organizations to provide lifesaving public education during this week and throughout the year. Find webinars, downloadable resources, and much more at NFPA.org.
