2 LEARNING OBJECTIVES Review statistics on leading causes of fire and related deaths in the United States Learn how to prevent fires Learn how to practice and design an evacuation plan Review resources on fire prevention to share with families
3 Statistics In 2014, US fire departments responded to an estimated 1,298,000 fires. Fires caused 3,275 civilian deaths and 97 firefighters were fatally injured while on duty. Approximately 2/3 of home fire deaths happen in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Fire kills more Americans than all natural disasters combined.
4 Statistics Fire Departments respond to a fire every 24 seconds One home structure fire was reported every 86 seconds accounting for 83% of the civilian fire deaths. Civilian fire injuries are reported every 33 minutes. On average, civilian fire deaths occur every 2 ½ hours. A fire will engulf a room in 3 to 5 minutes.
5 Prevent fires caused by cooking Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires (45%) and the third cause of civilian deaths (17%). 34% of the fires, 46% of deaths, and 46% of injuries are caused by cooking left unattended. Always stay in the kitchen while cooking. Keep flammable things away from range top. Prevent fires caused by smoking Think Safe Be Safe Fire Prevention Tips Smoking related fires are the number one cause of civilian deaths. 66% of smoking related deaths caused by fire starting in upholstered furniture and mattresses/bedding. 7% were smoking while using medical oxygen. Use large, deep ashtrays on sturdy surfaces. Douse cigarette butts with water before discarding in trash.
6 Think Safe Be Safe Fire Prevention Tips Prevent fires caused by heating Heating related fires are the second leading cause of home fires and civilian deaths. Keep space heaters at least three feet away from things that can burn. Keep items at least three feet away from fire places and wood burning stoves.
7 Think Safe Be Safe Fire Prevention Tips Prevent fires caused by electrical distribution or lighting Electrical related fires are the fourth leading cause of home fires.
8 Think Safe Be Safe Fire Prevention Tips Prevent fires caused by large appliances Clothes dryers account for a large share of appliance fires. The leading cause of home dryer fires was lack of maintenance. Clean filters regularly and remove lint form around the drum. Make sure dryers are plugged into an outlet suitable for its electric needs.
9 Think Safe Be Safe Fire Prevention Tips Prevent fires caused by candles Candle fires have tripled since Candle related fires are the fifth leading cause of fire related injuries. Never leave a burning candle unattended or allow children to keep in their rooms. Use stable candle holders made of materials that won t catch fire. Prevent fires caused by gasoline and other products Store gasoline in a garage in an approved container. Never bring inside.
10 Child Fire Casualties Statistics Fires and related burns are the third leading cause of unintentional injuries to children. Each year, an average of 3,650 children range 14 or younger are injured or killed in residential fires. Forty percent of these casualties are under the age of five.
11 Child Fire Casualties Statistics Children playing with fires are the leading cause of child fire casualties. The younger the child, the more likely child play was involved in the start of the fire. In short, when children play with fire, they tend to hurt or kill themselves.
12 Child Fire Casualties Statistics Child related fires: 83% inside and 93% outside were started by boys Lighters were used 52% of the time 39% started playing in the bedroom
13 Child Fire Casualties Statistics Prevent fires intentional fires Intentional fires are the third leading cause of home fires. Two out of every five arrest for arson are under age 18.
14 Food for thought We encourage children to explore and experiment because that is how they learn. We support their intrigue for being a fire fighter, seeing/hearing fire engines go by, and visiting the fire station. But what message is that sending about FIRE? Are we teaching them that fire is not to be played with?
15 Follow the Four Point System 1. Prevent the fire from happening in the first place. 2. Install and check smoke alarms. 3. Plan and practice your fire evacuation plan. 4. Install fire protection in your home.
16 Fire Extinguishers YOUR FIRST PRIORITY IS TO GET OUT SAFELY. Everyone should exit the building. Fire extinguishers can be used until the fire department arrives when a fire is small and confined to a small area or a room is not filled with smoke. Read instructions thoroughly and become familiar with your extinguisher before there is a fire. Install extinguishers close to exits and keep your back to a clear exit so you can make an easy escape.
17 Fire Extinguishers Don t forget the memory work to operate: P A S S P: Pull pin. Hold extinguisher with the nozzle pointing away from you and release the locking system. A: Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire. S: Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly. S: Sweep the nozzle from side to side.

19 SMOKE ALARMS There should be at least (1) smoke detector on every floor of your home and one outside of every sleeping area. Smoke alarms should be mounted on ceiling or walls because smoke rises. Test at least once a month by pressing the test button. Replace batteries once a year. Schedule battery replacement the same day you change your clock for daylight savings time.
20 Home Fire Escape Planning and Practice The State of Home Safety in America found that only 54% of families with children have discussed what to do in case of a home fire. Here are guidelines for fire safety/evacuation: Sketch out a floor plan of your home (all rooms, windows, interior and exterior doors, stairways) Identify and remedy anything that would deter your ability to get out quickly in an emergency. Always have a primary and secondary exit. If you live in a multi-story home, consider purchasing fire escape ladders for upstairs bedrooms.
21 Home Fire Escape Planning and Practice Push the test button on a smoke alarm to ensure everyone will recognize the sound of the alarm if it goes off. Select two escape routes from each room and mark them clearly on your escape plan. Ensure that anyone with special needs has a buddy to help them get out safely. In the case of a hearing impairment, be sure to purchase smoke alarms that use strobes and/or vibrations to signal a fire.
22 Home Fire Escape Planning and Practice Designate a meeting place so everyone will be accounted for & then assign someone to call 911. Remember to GET OUT and STAY OUT! Post your plan until all family members become familiar with it. Practice makes perfect. Hold fire drills frequently and at inopportune times. Young children tend to sleep heavy. Always have a buddy assigned to them to assure they have awaken and escaped during a drill.
23 Video: How to Practice Fire Safety at Home Please click the link above to view an Instructional YouTube Video
24 It's a terrifying thought: Your house is on fire, and you can't reach your kids. The smoke alarm is going off, wailing. But believe it or not, experts say in many cases, young children will sleep right through it. Children spend more time in deep sleep than adults do, and that's why it's harder for them to awaken in the case of an emergency. An escape plan should include an adult designated to each child to wake them up in a real fire.
25 Autism It is not uncommon for children to want to run back into a fire to get something they treasure. This can be more significant of an issue with children with autism because of their strong need for particular items as well as having very little safety awareness.
26 Autism Children with Autism often designate a space that they go to for calming in a closet, under a table, etc. In a home setting, parents and caregivers should know to look there first. In a classroom setting, remember to check there during drills and in a real emergency.
