COMMUNITY SAFETY
We want you and your family to be safe. It is important for everyone to be aware of the hazards in your home. Take steps to prevent fires, and prepare yourself and your family to respond in the event of an emergency.
Home Fire Hazards
Cooking equipment is the leading cause of house fires and home fire injuries. Smoking is the leading cause of home fire deaths. Heating equipment – such as furnaces, fireplaces, or space heaters - is the second most common cause of home fire fatalities.
