| Abstract: |
The State Fire Marshal's Office has developed this list of seasonal fire safety tips for you and your family. There are more than 209 fires in Florida homes every day. Forty percent start in the kitchen, more than 22 percent are caused by faulty wiring, followed by careless smoking, children playing with matches or lighters, and unattended heating devices. More than two-thirds of Florida's fire fatalities are age 40 and older followed by those age 70 and older. One of the most shocking statistics is that smoke detectors are not present or are inoperative in more than 52 percent of these homes. Don't let your family or home become part of these statistics. Make time for you and your family to study these tips and put them into practice. |
