Most fire deaths and injuries occur in the home.
Is your home fire safe?

Those most likely to die in home fires are children under five years old and adults over 65.  The United States and Canada have the highest fire death rates of any industrialized countries.

Why?  Our buildings are built to high standards and our fire departments are among the best in the world.  The problem is people and their lack of awareness about the the importance of making fire safety a part of their everyday lives.

Is Your Family Fire Safe?

Nearly all home fires are preventable.  Each of us can share the responsibility of keeping fires from starting.  The Seattle Fire Department encourages everyone to review our Fire Safety Checklist to see how safe their home is.  Each item you are not able to check-off is an opportunity for you take the steps necessary to keep your home fire safe.  For additional fire safety information contact the Public Education Office.
