11.4 Minimizing Home Fire Hazards

How can you avoid the three most common causes of fires at home?
• Never leave cooking food unattended. It's the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires
often result from unattended cooking and human error, rather than mechanical failure.
• Stay alert when smoking. Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths. Smoke
detectors and smoulder-resistant bedding and upholstered furniture are significant fire
deterrents.
• Maintain your heating system. Faulty heating systems are the second leading cause of
residential fires.

11.5 Home Fire Warning System

Household fires are especially dangerous at night. Fires produce smoke and deadly
gases that can overcome occupants while they sleep. To warn against fire, install smoke
detectors outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements.
