Practice fire safety while smoking
The leading cause of fatal fires is smoking and they occur throughout the year. Smoking accounts for more than 20% of home fire deaths. If you smoke, do it outdoors if possible. Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished every time by dipping them in water or a bucket of water. Never smoke in bed because mattresses and bedding can catch on fire easily, especially if you’ve fallen asleep. Never mix smoking with medical oxygen as it is highly flammable.
Don’t take chances, take precautions. Stay tuned for this blog series to learn how you can proactively protect your home and loved ones from fires. Every second counts!
