The NFPA recently released its report on Home Structure Fires. The report contains some important and alarming facts on fires in homes across America:

• The leading cause of house fires is cooking equipment, which is attributed to 46% of these types of blazes.
• 60% of fire-related deaths happened in homes that had no operational smoke alarm in the house.
•  21% of all homes with smoke alarms, the smoke alarms aren’t working. 
• 3 out of 5 home fire deaths result from fires without smoke alarms. 
• Home structure fires peak during cool months with most fires occurring in January (11%)
• Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, and odorless gas that is the number one cause of poisoning deaths in the United States

All smoke and carbon monoxide detectors must be replaced every 10 years from the date on the back of the smoke or carbon monoxide detector. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors should be Tested Monthly and Replacement is needed if the Test Fails.
