With the expected freezing temperatures approaching, LFD would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to use caution when heating your homes.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), half of all home-heating fires occur during the winter months. NFPA research shows that during 2011 home heating equipment was involved in more than 53,600 reported U.S. home structure fires, with associated loss of more than 400 civilian deaths, more than 1,520 civilian injuries and roughly $893 million in direct property damage.
Keep Warm, Keep Safe.
