House fires went down statistically. The absolute number of fires was higher because more homes were getting insulation, but fires per insulated home went down.
The real cause is business efficiency, hiring cheaper workers and not training them properly. You can't hold the government responsible for every grunt a private business hires. You don't hear the current lot taking direct responsibility for the recent shooting in our offshore detention facilities.
Edit - in hindsight it's a perfect example of how "fake news" isn't a recent problem.
