Animals cause nearly 1,000 structure fires a year. These animals can be domesticated (pets) or wildlife like mice, squirrels, chipmunks, etc. Here are some ways you can prevent kids from starting fires:

  • Keep wires and cords out secured and out of reach of animals​

  • Just like children, pets can turn stoves on so keep control knobs removed

  • Charge devices out of reach of pets since they could drag them onto flammable surfaces ​​

  •  Just like devices, keep smaller heating appliances away from reach for the same reason
