graphic - home fires - America's biggest disaster threat

There are simple steps that everyone can take to protect their home and family members from fires and the Red Cross can help. Preparedness is your best defense against a deadly home fire.

Since home fires historically kill more Americans each year than all natural disasters combined, the Red Cross urges families to use Red Cross resources to develop a fire escape plan.  Please use these resources to help your family, and yourself, be prepared.
