Fireplace Fire in Glen Daniel Home?
1/16/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Beckley team has been restoring fire damage in Glen Daniel and Raleigh County since 1999. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths in the United States. Here are some heating fire facts from the NFPA:
Based on 2016-2020 annual averages:
- Space heaters were the type of heating equipment responsible for the largest shares of losses in home heating equipment fires, accounting for one-third of the fires, but nearly nine out of ten deaths and four out of five of the injuries in home fires caused by heating equipment.
- Fires originating in a kitchen or cooking area accounted for the largest share of home heating fires (17%).
- While the larger (non-confined) fires involving fireplaces or chimneys were involved in fewer than one in ten fires caused by heating equipment (7%), they caused just over one-fifth of the direct property damage (22%).
- Nearly half of the heating equipment fires (46%) occurred in the three-month period from December through February.
