Hang on, this article is explicitly about mid-rise buildings and the fire safety of one vs two stairwells in those, so you can't drag up statistics that show combined data for all housing types. I'm assuming a large chunk of those fire deaths are people dying because they accidentally burned down their single-family single-story building. That's completely irrelevant in this case so you have to separate that out.
