Wildfires
Fires can spread quickly, becoming life threatening in minutes and engulf a residence in as little as five minutes. While flames are dangerous, heat and smoke can be more dangerous and can sear your lungs. The leading cause of fire-related deaths is asphyxiation. When there is a fire, do not waste time gathering valuables or making a phone call. It is important to learn about fires in order to protect yourself.
