Fire damage can be minimal or extensive. It is also a good idea to know some of the most common reasons for fire damage so that you can help prevent them.
• Cooking—Cooking is the number one cause of house fires, accounting for close to 40%. Fire damage from cooking can be caused by the stove or oven being left unattended or something catching fire while it is being fried.
• Electricity—Electrical wiring and lighting equipment can short circuit and cause fires. One of the causes of the short circuits has to do with overusing extension cords: extension cords that are plugged into more cords instead of power strips or outlets.
• Seasonal Items—Christmas trees, believe it or not, cause fires when they dry out. Trees wrapped in lights and decorations are potential fire hazards, which makes the possibility of fire damage during the holidays increase. Fireworks during the summer are also responsible for fire damage as well.
