Minimizing Fire Hazards
The three most common causes of fires:
• Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S
and the leading cause of fire injuries. Cooking fires
often result from unattended cooking and human error
rather than mechanical failure of stoves or ovens.
• Careless smoking is the leading cause of fire deaths.
Smoke detectors and smolder-resistant bedding and
upholstered furniture are significant fire deterrents.
• Heating is the second leading cause of residential
fires. However, heating fires are a larger problem in
single family homes than in apartments since the
heating systems in single family homes are often not
professionally maintained.
