Children Playing With Fire
Children playing with fire cause hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries each year. Preschoolers are most likely to start these fires, typically by playing with matches and lighters.

Cooking Safety
Cooking fires are the #1 cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Most cooking equipment fires start with the ignition of common household items (e.g., food or grease, cabinets, wall coverings, paper or plastic bags, curtains, etc.).

Heating
Heating equipment is a leading cause of home fires during the months of December, January and February, and trails only cooking equipment in home fires year-round.

Candle Safety
Remember that a candle is an open flame. It can easily ignite any combustible nearby.

Christmas Tree Fire Safety
Carefully decorating Christmas trees can help make your holidays safer. Nearly half of every home Christmas tree fires are caused by an electrical problem or malfunction. One in four (24%) home Christmas tree fires resulted from a heat source placed too close to the tree. Remember, a small fire that spreads to a Christmas tree can very quickly become large.
