FP-001

A kitchen counter at eye level in the late afternoon, a pot handle turned toward the wall on a back burner, a locked cabinet above, and a small child's step stool pushed to the side.

Child Scald and Burn Risks at Home

Where child burns happen at home, what a parent can change this week, and how local data guides prevention programmes to the highest risk homes.

FP-003

A home kitchen stovetop at night, a metal lid resting on a pan of oil, burner off, overhead light casting a hard shadow across the counter.

Kitchen Fires: The First Five Minutes

What ignites first in a kitchen fire, when a lid beats an extinguisher, when to leave, and how to keep the same pan from catching again.

FP-004

A small electric space heater on a bare hardwood floor in a living room, its grille glowing faintly, with an empty three-foot arc of floor around it and a heavy gray extension cord coiled neatly beside a wall outlet, lit by low afternoon window light.

Space Heaters and the Three-Foot Rule

The three-foot rule covers what a space heater must stay away from, why outlets matter, and which extension cord is safe to use.
