Minimizing Fire Hazards

The three most common causes of fires:

• Cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. It's

also 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.

Fire Safety Tips

• In the event of a fire, escape first, then call for help.

Develop a home fire escape plan and designate a meeting

place outside. Make sure everyone in the family knows two

ways to escape from every room. Practice feeling your

way out with your eyes closed. Never stand up in a fire,

always crawl low under the smoke and try to keep your

mouth covered. Never return to a burning building for any

reason; it may cost you your life.

• Finally, having at least one working smoke alarm

dramatically increases your chances of surviving a fire.

And remember to practice a home escape plan frequently

with your family.
