The risks associated with fire should be one of the chief concerns of any apartment-dweller.
Apartment complexes attract residents that often are more transient in nature.
They're either not ready to purchase a home yet, or they have no plans to do so. They may stay in the community for a couple of years, coming and going each day without a word to their fellow neighbors. That's why apartment fire safety is your responsibility, and yours alone. It starts within your own unit and then carries to the larger building in which your reside. Older complexes sometimes don't have them.
