> I mean, there's still more people who die in fires in the US than in the EU
False - and it's not even close. Europe has almost a full order of magnitude more death from residential fires than the US - house fires caused 2,620 deaths over 5 years in the US [0] vs ~5000/yr in Europe [1].
>house fires caused 2,620 deaths over 5 years in the US
Your source says that was 2,620 per year further down in the article:
>House fires cause an average of 2,620 civilian deaths each year.
Given that the EU has a significantly higher population than the US (~500 million, the EU data may or may not have included the UK, vs ~330 million) the per capita statistics end up fairly close.
