According to the NFPA, cigarettes are the No. 1 cause of fire deaths in the United States and Canada, killing about 1,000 people per year.
Don’t throw water on burning oil! Use baking soda, flour, or a fire blanket. Throwing water onto burning oil will cause it to explode!
If you have a properly functioning smoke detector in your home or apartment, your chances of dying in a fire may be reduced by 50%.
Every year in America, over 4000 people die and more than 20,000 are injured in fires. Sadly, around 80% of fire deaths occur in homes.
To escape during a fire; Fall & Crawl. It is easier to breath in a fire if you stay low while getting out.
In the U.S., people over the age of 65 have a fire death rate nearly 2x the natl ave. For those over 75, this jumps to 3x the natl ave.

If someone gets burned, immediately place the wound in cool water for 10 to 15 minutes to ease the pain.
Keep portable space heaters at least 3 feet (1 meter) from paper, curtains, furniture, clothing, bedding, or anything else that can burn.
Smoke detectors warn you of fire in time to let you escape. Install them on each level of your home and outside of each sleeping area.
Don't run extension cords under rugs or carpets. The cords wear easily and may short out, causing a fire.
Walk your family through a fire drill so everyone knows what to do and where to go in case of fire.
Stop, Drop and Roll- very much effective when your clothes catch fire.
