We want you to keep your family safe from fire. Be aware of the hazards in your home. Take steps to prevent fires, and prepare yourself and your family to respond in the event of an emergency.

 

Home fire hazards

 

Cooking equipment is the leading cause of house fires and home fire injuries. Smoking is the leading cause of home fire deaths. Heating equipment – such as furnaces, fireplaces, or space heaters - is the second most common cause of home fire fatalities.

 

Fire safety education
