USFA Smoking & Home Fires Campaign

Smoking is the #1 cause of preventable home fire deaths in the U.S. Every year, about 1,000 people are killed in home fires that are caused by smoking materials like cigarettes. These fires didn't have to happen.

The audio is from an actual 911 call for a fire that started after a person fell asleep while smoking in bed. That person later died from severe burn injuries.

Please take a few moments to view the video, then go to www.usfa.dhs.gov/smoking to learn more about smoking at home.

Please forward this video to friends, family and coworkers!
