After being involved in a building fire, third-degree burns and smoke inhalation injuries are quite prevalent, and breathing smoke increases your chances of dying from a serious burn or another condition. Residential structure fires cause about 2,000 civilian deaths and over 10,000 civilian injuries per year.
