Facts About Fire

  • 2/3 of all fire deaths are in homes with no working smoke alarm. A working alarm cuts your chance of dying in a fire in half.
  • Cooking fires often start from overheated grease and unattended cooking. Stay alert!
  • More people die of smoke inhalation than flames. Fire can suck the oxygen from the room and replace it with poisonous smoke and gases. Get out early and have a plan!

Candle With Care

  • December is the peak time of year for candle fires. Get the same holiday glow with realistic battery-operated look-alikes.
  • Roughly one-third of candle fires start in the bedroom.
  • More than half of candle fires start with objects too close to the flame. Watch the drapes and clothing!
