October is National Fire Prevention Month, making it an ideal time to raise awareness about fire safety at home. House fires have devastating consequences, and preparedness is critical to reducing risk. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), U.S. firefighters respond to an average of 346,800 house fires annually, resulting in over 2,500 deaths and billions in property damage. Understanding how to prevent fires and knowing what to do if one occurs is essential for keeping your family and home safe.
