Kitchen

With open flames, appliances, and hot surfaces, kitchens are extremely common for fires to occur. It is very important to never walk away when you are cooking on a stovetop and keep watch over everything. Keep an eye on your kitchen equipment and double check that appliances are shut off when you leave your home.

Bedroom

Outlet fires can be extremely common with overheating appliances and too many cords plugged into an outlet at once. Be sure to monitor temperature changes in outlets to make sure nothing is overheating. If you burn candles in your bedroom, always keep them in a safe and contained place away from anything that can catch fire and blow them out before leaving the area

Living Room

If you happen to have a fireplace, you must keep watch of your space when the fireplace is on. Fires can occur at any time when things get too hot or malfunction.
