Fires resulting from cooking continue to be the most common type of
fire experienced by U.S. households. This is true for fires
reported to fire departments and those handled by private
individuals. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire
injuries. As a result, the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) has
partnered with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) "to
research the types of behaviors and sequences of events that lead
to cooking fires and develop sound recommendations for behavioral
mitigation strategies that will reduce such fires and their
resultant injuries and fatalities." This study of the causes of
cooking fires and cooking injuries and the effectiveness of
strategies to prevent them also considers as part of its scope
cooking burns of all types from all types of products involved in
preparing and serving food or drink. Although many cooking injuries
result from knives or broken glass and many people are made ill by
improperly handled food, these other issues are beyond the scope of
this project.
