NASHVILLE â While winter brings traditional holiday festivities such as Christmas and New Yearâs Eve, the seasonâs cold weather also poses enhanced fire-related risks to Tennessee homeowners.
During winter, fire deaths increase by almost
75 percent across the Volunteer State, according to state fire data. Heating equipment is the leading cause of home fire deaths nationally and the second leading known cause in Tennessee.
Ahead of the first day of winter (Dec. 21) and Christmas (Dec. 25), the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) and the Tennessee State Fire Marshalâs Office (SFMO) remind Tennesseans to focus on fire safety in order to help reduce home fires and save lives this winter.Â
