TOP 4 LEADING CAUSES OF FIRE
01
COOKING – 48%
When a pot or pan overheats or
splatters greases, it can take
seconds to cause a fire. It is also
the leading cause of home fire injuries
and the second-leading cause of home
fire deaths, according to the National
Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA)
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW?
• Stay in the kitchen while you
are cooking food.
Here are a few tips to follow if
you accidentally set a grease fire
in your kitchen:
• Remove the source of heat
• Cover the lit oil with a metal lid
• Pour baking soda generously over smaller
grease fires
• Use a Class B dry chemical fire
extinguisher
• Escape and call local emergency hotline
For grease fires, there are a few
critical things to remember:
• Do not use water
• Do not transfer the burning pot anywhere
• Only baking soda is safe to use, not any
other baking materials
02
ELECTRICAL
FIRES – 34%
Anywhere that electricity is
being used has the potential to
cause a fire. The following are
some of the most common
sources of electrical fires
1. Extension Cords
2. Overloading a Circuit
3. Faulty Outlets
4. Light Fixtures
Dealing with an electrical fire
• If there is an electrical fire,
pull the plug out, or switch off
the power at the fuse box.
Sometimes this can stop the
fire immediately.
• Never use water on an
electrical fire, and don’t take
any risks with your safety.
• Get out, stay out and call local
emergency hotline.
03
CANDLES– 14%
We use candles to celebrate birthdays, see in the
dark, and relax. But we should never forget that
candles are an open flame in our home.
A candle should never be left unattended and
should be extinguished before leaving the room or
going to bed. Homeowners should consider other
options like battery-operated flashlights instead of
emergency candles and remember to keep all
flammable materials at least 12 inches away from
candles at all times.
04 SMOKING– 33%
Smoking materials like cigarettes, cigars, and pipes are the leading
cause of deaths in home fires. Smoking materials lit inside are
relatively small and easy to forget. And while several individuals use
smoking as a relaxing activity, there is a likelihood of falling asleep
while smoking, leaving the lit material to drop on the floor to catch
carpet or other flammable materials on fire.
It would be best to smoke outside whenever possible and never leave
lit smoking materials unattended. If you must smoke indoors, do not
lounge or relax on flammable furniture, which increases the risk of
falling asleep. If you’re smoking, remain alert and aware the whole
time.
Most deaths from fires started in the living room, den, family room, or
bedroom. If you smoke, be sure to put out any lit butts fully and not
just toss them. Smoking-related deaths happen most commonly due to
the smoker falling asleep and not rousing quickly enough.
WHAT
TO DO
DURING
FIRE?
WHAT TO DO DURING FIRE?

React!
01 As soon as you hear the fire
alarm, drop everything and get
to the nearest exit. If at home,
get you and your family
members safe. You may only
have seconds to escape from a
burning building. If the fire is
happening at home during the
night, shout to alert your
neighbors.
WHAT TO DO DURING FIRE?
Check the door
Check if there is smoke coming
02 from under the door or if the door
is hot to touch. If the door is cool to
touch, open it slowly and pass. If
not, keep it closed and stay in the
room. Place wet towels on the gaps
to prevent fire and smoke from
coming in. Have someone pop out
of a window and wave something
bright, like a flashlight or a
brightly-colored cloth, to signal for
help. Once out of the room, use
your building’s emergency exit and
evacuate immediately without
panic.
WHAT TO DO DURING FIRE?
P.A.S.S.
03 To use a fire extinguisher,
first Pull the pin in the
handle. Aim the nozzle at the
base of the fire. Squeeze the
lever slowly and Sweep from
side to side. Use a fire
extinguisher if and only if it is
within reach, and only to put
out small fires. If the fire is
big, leave!
WHAT TO DO DURING FIRE?

Stay low
04 Crawl and cover your nose
and mouth. Smoke is toxic
and inhaling large amounts
can render you unconscious.
Once you are outside, call
the fire department. Do not
attempt to go back to the
burning building.
WHAT TO DO DURING FIRE?

Stop, Drop, and Roll

05 If your clothes caught fire, do
not panic or touch the flame
as it could only spread the
fire. Stop moving, Drop on
the ground, and Roll around
until the fire is put out. Doing
this will lessen injuries and
put out the fire as quickly as
possible.
WHAT TO DO DURING FIRE?

National and Local

06 Emergency Hotline
Nothing is better than being
prepared. Before fire happens,
be aware of the fire exits in
your building and homes.
Make sure you know the
emergency numbers for your
town or city.
