Prevent Heating Equipment Fires




"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."  --Benjamin Franklin

  • The leading factor contributing to heating equipment fires is failure to clean creosote from solid fueled heating equipment, primarily chimneys.
  • Portable space heaters, including wood stoves, were involved in one-third (32%) of home heating fires and four out of five (80%) home heating deaths.
  • Half of home heating fire deaths resulted from fires caused by heating equipment too close to things that can burn, such as furniture, clothing, mattresses or bedding.
  • In most years, heating is the second leading cause of home fires, fire deaths, & fire injuries. Portable space heaters are involved in 4 out of 5 heating fire deaths.
