According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) the top leading causes for house fires are: cooking, heating, electrical, smoking, and burning candles.

In the summer time there are two more main causes for house fires: grilling and fireworks.

Each year around 4000 structural fires are caused by grills, hibachis or barbecues.

Fireworks started an estimated 1,900 structure fires in 2018
