The Most Common Causes of Fire Damage Boulder and the United States:
There are several causes of house fires. Among these, kitchen and grease fires are the most common that cause intense damage. Often, it can happen when a frying pan or a vessel is left unattended in the oven for a long period of time. This can make you seriously injured and also, cause severe damage to your property.
Faulty electrical wiring, malfunctioning equipment, and burned-out breaker boxes are a few common sources that can cause electrical fires. Old buildings can be at great risk of a fire outbreak due to the frayed wires within walls. It can cause sparks and shorts that can lead to catching fire.
A fire caused by heaters is also one of the most common, especially in the months of the winter season. During this time, due to severe cold, people often keep the heaters close to bed while sleeping. As a result, the flammables such as bed sheets or quilts can catch the fire easily.
Cigarette fire is also a common cause of house fires. Smokers often choose to smoke on their beds. But it’s better to extinguish cigarettes properly before disposing of them. Avoid smoking cigarettes in bed while you feel tired or drowsy to prevent such accidents.
