13 Everyday Household Items You Had No Idea Are Flammable

House fires continue to take a searing toll on U.S. homeowners, with some 358,500 home structure fires per year causing as many as 2,510 civilian fire deaths, according to the National Fire Protection Association. “People take safety for granted and are not aware of the risk of fire,” said Lorraine Carli, NFPA vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. “Paying attention to your surroundings, looking for available exits in the event of a fire or other emergency, and taking the smoke alarm seriously if it sounds can make a potentially life-saving difference in a fire or other emergency situation.” Cooking equipment, smoking and heating equipment are the leading causes of home structure fires, according to the organization. But there are a number of uncommon, strange and even bizarre substances sitting in your home that could make a house fire even more serious. Via builders feed http://www.rssmix.com/
