Cooking Fires: Unattended cooking is a major cause of home fires. Grease fires, overheated pans, and other cooking-related incidents can quickly escalate into destructive fires.

Heating Equipment: Malfunctioning or improperly maintained heating equipment, such as furnaces, space heaters, and wood stoves, can lead to fires, especially during the colder months.

Electrical Fires: Electrical problems, such as faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, and damaged appliances or cords, can result in electrical fires in homes.

Smoking: Carelessly discarded cigarettes and smoking materials are a significant cause of fires in residential buildings, particularly in bedrooms and living rooms.

Candles: Unattended or improperly placed candles can ignite flammable materials in the home, leading to fires.

Children Playing with Fire: Children playing with matches, lighters, or other fire-starting materials can accidentally start fires in homes.

Flammable Liquids: The storage and use of flammable liquids, such as gasoline, propane, or lighter fluid, can lead to fires and explosions.

Arson: Deliberate acts of arson, where someone intentionally sets fire to a home, can cause significant damage and pose a threat to lives.
