Fire damage can have a devastating impact on your home, sometimes leaving it completely uninhabitable. Understanding the causes of house fires is key to keeping your home safe and sound.

Cooking

Whether you're using a gas stove or an electric range, cooking can unexpectedly ignite a fire. A splash of water in hot oil can cause a major flare-up, so always stay vigilant in the kitchen!

Electrical Issues

Watch out for faulty wiring or temperamental outlets among your electronics. These could be the hidden culprits behind a house fire. Before settling into a new home, get a thorough electrical inspection, and keep a watchful eye on your gadgets.

Heating

Those cozy space heaters can be a source of warmth and, unfortunately, house fires. Remember to give them room to breathe and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions to a tee.

Candles

We all love the flicker of a candle flame at home, but without proper care, they can lead to disaster. Ensure candles have their own safe space and snuff them out before leaving the room.

Smoking

If you must smoke, take it outside. Not only will your furniture remain fresh, but it's also a safer choice for you and your home.
