Common Causes of Winter Fire in DFW
- Flame close to flammables: Often winter fire starts from fire equipment being close to flammable objects. Such as candles and space heaters being in close proximity to clothing, curtains, or other flammable objects. In fact, every year careless candle placement is a leading cause of fires in the United States.
- Fireplaces not putoff: Often in winter people forget to put off the fireplace before leaving home or going to sleep at night leading to accidents.
- Overworked Electrical Outlets: Heating appliances require a great deal of electricity. Plugging many heating appliances into an electrical outlet at a time can lead to a fire.
- Non-working Smoke Detectors: Non-working smoke detectors are a leading cause of fire escalation due to failing to give early warning signs.
How to Prevent DFW Winter Fire Accidents
With some careful steps and actions any winter fire incident can be avoided without interrupting your winter routine:
- Installing carbon monoxide and smoke alarms and other fire detecting systems and checking regularly to see it is working properly.
- Placing fire extinguishers in risky zones such as the kitchen, garage, and living room, and make sure all household members know how to use them.
- Installing a screen in front of each fireplace or wood stove.
- Keeping knowledge of the location and function of the gas, electric, and water main shut-off controls so that you are able to access them in times of emergency.
- Keeping portable generators outside and away from the home.
- Storing cooled ashes in a metal container outside the home.
- Having chimneys professionally inspected and cleaned every year.
- Keeping anything that can burn far away from fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, or another heat source.
- Never leave lit candles unattended.
