According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there were 1.29 million fires in the United States in 2019. Out of all reported residential building fires, more than 50% stemmed from a cooking-related accident and 9.3% from household heating. Explosions in non-residential buildings are also frequently caused by cooking-related accidents, according to this data. Additionally, 11.5% were caused by careless and negligent acts, with 10.8% caused by deliberate acts.
Explosions and fire-related injuries have the potential to inflict intense pain and may result in devastating consequences in a person’s life.
