Why Fireproof Insulation Matters: Lessons from Global Fires

Date: 2025-05-27 Categories: News Hits: 118


1. Global Fire Disasters: Wake-Up Calls

In recent years, wildfires and structural fires have caused immense losses:
- 2025, California: 17,000+ buildings destroyed in LA wildfires
- 2024, Texas: Over 1 million acres burned in Smokehouse Creek Fire
- 2024, Canada: Jasper National Park saw mass evacuations
- 2024, Portugal: 135,000+ hectares affected, 9 lives lost
These events reveal one recurring issue: insufficient fire-resistant insulation.
