Your Home and Fire Don't Mix

Home Fires

A home fire can become life-threatening in as little as two minutes. Your residence can be fully engulfed in flames in just five minutes.

Learning About Fires

• Fire is Fast! A small flame can soon become a major fire in less than 30 seconds. In only minutes, your home can be fully engulfed and filled with thick black smoke.
• Fire is Hot! More threatening than flames is the heat from a fire. During a fire, floor level temperatures can be 100 degrees and rise to over 600 degrees at eye level.
• Fire is Dark! Although a fire starts bright, the black smoke quickly produces complete darkness.
• Fire is Deadly! More people are killed by toxic gases and smoke than by flames. The poisonous gases from a fire can make you disoriented and drowsy. The leading cause of fire deaths is asphyxiation, exceeding burns by a 3-to-1 ratio.

Homes are also very costly to restore after a fire. You will need the experts to handle any cleanup.
