Most people who die in fires do so because of toxic gases, thick smoke, and lack of oxygen. Even breathing in small amounts of these harmful substances can cause confusion and make some people pass out.
After a house fire, risks like smoke inhalation, burns, and other health issues can increase the chances of cancer, heart attacks, and strokes.
The heat and flames from the fire can be just as harmful as the smoke, potentially causing lung and heart problems.
In this blog, we'll explore some of the major causes of house fires, the types of damage that occur during a fire, and the best options for fire damage restoration.
Cooking is one of the top reasons for house fires,
accounting for 42% of the total cases. Leaving the gas knobs open, forgetting items over a burning flame, and improper ventilation are some of the major reasons for the increased number of accidents.
Heating objects such as irons, heaters, or ovens are left switched on for longer periods of time, leading to fires.
A short circuit is the other factor responsible in this aspect.
In 2022, there were about 26,100 fires in homes caused by electrical problems in the United States.
These fires led to 185 deaths, 850 injuries, and more than $1.49 billion in
fire damage restoration to property. (Source)
In the United States, nearly 90% of wildfires are caused by humans. This can happen from things like discarded cigarettes, campfires left unattended, burning debris, or equipment problems. While less common, wildfires can also start from natural events like lightning strikes or volcanic eruptions. (source)
