Fires spread quickly; the best way to decrease the likelihood of injury in a fire is by acting fast. The only way to do this is by notifying everyone in the home that a fire is occurring as soon as possible, which is what smoke alarms are programmed to do. Smoke alarms reduce the death rate by 51%. Having a smoke alarm in each bedroom can be the difference between life or death.
While space heaters are useful for cold bedrooms, they are also dangerous if not used properly. Space heaters are the cause of 79% of fatal home heating fires. In order to prevent fires, never leave an operating space heater unattended. Check to make sure that the space heater is turned off before going to bed or leaving the room.
Electricity produces heat. When numerous cords are plugged in and touching each other, the heat cannot dissipate correctly, which presents a fire hazard. Before leaving a room or going to bed, ensure that the cords are not covered with other cords or any other objects that can prevent them from cooling.
The most common time for someone to charge a phone is while they are sleeping. This, coupled with the fact that most people use their phone before falling asleep, can sometimes lead to the person falling asleep with their phone on the bed. As mentioned above, electricity causes heat. If the phone slides under your blanket or pillow while you are sleeping, the heat will not be able to escape and can potentially cause a fire.
