National Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 3-9. State Farm has partnered with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Whisker Labs to bring awareness to fire prevention by educating people about simple steps they can take to promote safety at home.
According to the NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Almost half, some 44 percent, of reported home fires started in the kitchen. Two-thirds of fires, or 66 percent of home cooking fires, start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.
