Is your home fire safe?
Those most likely to die in home fires are children under 5 years
old and adults over the age of 65. The United States and Canada
have the highest fire death rates of any industrialized country.

Why is that the case? Our buildings are built to high standards
through building codes and our fire departments are among the best
in the world. The problem is people and their lack of awareness
about the importance of making fire safety a part of their everyday
lives.
Is your family fire safe?
Nearly all home fires are preventable. Each one of us can share the 
responsibility of keeping fires from starting. The Fire Department
encourages you to review the fire safety checklist we have provided
to see how fire safe their home is. Each item that you cannot check
off is an opportunity for you to see that your home is more fire safe. .
