Fire is the one element that can bring us life in the cold outdoors or it can take our life while we sleep in our house. This post is focused on why some fires start.
Ready.gov reports that: “Each year more than 2,500 people die and 12,600 are injured in home fires in the United States, with direct property loss due to home fires estimated at $7.3 billion annually.”
