Common Causes of Fatal Fires
There are several factors that contribute to the number of fatal fires that take place across the United States. One of the most common causes is electrical malfunctions. When circuits are overloaded or wires are outdated, it can cause sparks that result in devastating fires. Malfunctioning appliances are another common cause of fatal fires in our state. There are countless instances where house fires are a result of malfunctioning microwaves, coffee pots, and ovens.
Finally, the misuse of heating equipment can lead to devastating fire incidents. During the colder months, we rely on space heaters, fireplaces, and wood-burning stoves to keep warm. However, failing to use these heating sources responsibly, such as placing them too close to flammable materials or neglecting proper ventilation, can result in devastating consequences.
After enduring the loss of a loved one, you need to take legal action to ensure your rights are protected.
