Introduction: The Dangers of Fire
Each year in the United States, more people die in fires than all other natural disasters combined. The National Fire Protection Association reports that fires kill more than 5,000 Americans and injure more than 300,000 yearly.
The majority of home fires are caused by smoking, highly flammable liquids and objects, heating and electrical problems, children, and cooking. The majority of fires and resulting deaths occur in homes where there are no working smoke detectors.
While the dangers of fire are very real and very frightening, there's a lot you can do to protect yourself, your home and your family. This course is intended to help by teaching you how to prevent fires in your home and prepare your home and family for fire emergencies.
