Winter Can Increase Fire Hazards
Midwest winters mean a lot more time spent in your home. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) claims there are more than 360,000 home structure fires each year.
Some more prevalent causes of fires during the winter months are:
- Cooking
The U.S. Fire Administration identifies cooking as the leading cause of house fires all year long.
- Never leave the kitchen or hot appliances unattended while cooking.
- Keep paper products and other flammable materials away from the stove.
- Clean your stove and oven often to avoid grease build up.
- Candles
Many home fires caused by lit candles are due to:
- Falling asleep without extinguishing candles
- Leaving something combustible too close to a lit candle
- Smoking
- Try to avoid smoking indoors. Most deaths result from fires that started in common areas.
- Keep smoking materials away from children.
- Before you toss ashes, ensure they are completely out by dousing them with water.
- Washing Machines and Dryers
Most dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January.
The majority of dryer fires start because the lint from the dryer is not cleaned out.
Be sure to clean lint filters every time you use the dryer. Do not run your dryer while you are not at home or sleeping.
