According to the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) recently released Home Structure Fires report, 399,000 home fires were reported in the United States in 2007. On average, eight people die in home fires every day in the United States.

Progress has been made to protect and provide added safety to every home, NFPA provides several tips:

• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food.

• Keep fixed and portable space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn.

• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home.

• If you are building or remodeling your home, install residential fire sprinklers.

• Replace cords that are cracked, frayed, have broken plugs or loose connections.

    Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food. Yes, there are times when we can not leave the kitchen at all, we should wait until everything’s finished. Otherwise something bad will happen.
