Fire Safety at Home
Fire Safety | 10-15 min
Summary
Home fires kill approximately 2,600 people in the United States each year and injure over 11,000 more. The risk of dying in a home fire is cut in half in homes with working smoke alarms compared to homes without them. Yet studies show that roughly 25% of smoke alarms in homes don't work, usually because of dead or missing batteries. The fire safety awareness you develop at work can directly save your family's lives at home.
