Top causes of at home fires

6/28/2021 (Permalink)

Smoking and candle use are just two leading cause of death in home fires in the Unites States every year. You may be surprised to learn that most smoking fires were started on an exterior balcony or open porch. Many smoking fire deaths were also related to the use of medical oxygen while smoking. Three of every five candle fires involved the candle being placed next to combustible materials, leaving them burning while you sleep or placing flammable material near a candle such as pillows, blankets or clothing.  Another hint is do not smoke in your bed or after taking medicine that makes you tired.
