Common Fire Starters Around The Home

The National Fire Protection Association reported for 2015 that there were 388,000 home fires. Prevention is key for disaster. Knowing where the hazards are and educating young children to be aware of what can cause a fire is half the battle.

Candles– Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire and out of reach of pets and children. Flamless candles are a beautiful option and worry free!!

Cooking– Cooking with oil, gas stoves, microwave safety, and turkey fryers should be handled with care. For more information visit

Heating– Space heaters are the greatest cause of home fires. Keeping a space heater too close to upholstery, mattresses, bedding and clothing will absolutely cause a fire. Please follow the manufacturer guidelines for use.

Smoking Smoking materials– (i.e., cigarettes, cigars, pipes, e-cigarettes, etc.) A leading cause of home fires, deaths and injury, proper lighting and disposing of these materials needs to be done with care. Also keeping out of reach of children will avoid a young child starting a fire.
