Home Fires – More Common than You Might Think

Did you know that 1 in 8 people have experienced a home fire? This past February The Hartford conducted an online survey of 1153 adults living in the United States.  Their findings may surprise you!  Ranked by the Hartford Home Fire Index, New York City comes in 14th of the top 100 U.S. cities with the highest home fire risk. Leaving items such as a cell phone charging overnight can put you at risk. The biggest culprit is electrical fires followed by unattended cooking/stovetops and candles.Junior Fire Marshal
