How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at
home?
1. Never leave cooking food unattended. Cooking fires often
result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than
mechanical failure.
2. Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading
cause of fire deaths. Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant
bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire
deterrents.
3. Maintain your heating system. Heating is the second leading
cause of residential fires. However, heating fires are a larger
problem in single family homes than in apartments. Unlike
apartments, the heating systems in single family homes are
often not professionally maintained.
4. Since fires produce smoke and deadly gases that can
overcome occupants while they sleep, smoke detectors
should be installed outside each separate sleeping area in
the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each
additional story of the family living unit, including basements.
