Why Home Fires?

Home fires affect more people than all other major disasters.

The recovery from a home fire is no different than that of a large scale disaster but these people do not have access to the same federal and state resources.

• There are over 1,000 home fires every day in the U.S.

• There are 9 home fires every day in Colorado.

• There are 2 home fires every day in the Denver Metro Area.

OFP was created and exists to create a community for home fire survivors - a community that they lack as they experience these disasters in isolation.

There is no other organization in the country that provides long-term recovery support for home fire survivors.
