before you stop drop and roll you’ve got
to be in the know actually it scratch
that if you’re on fire just stop drop
and roll whether you’re in the know or
not oh oh
I mean five I mean four yeah welcome to
watchmojo.com it taking a look at the
most interesting facts we could find
about house fires show time number five
the holidays bring fun and fire hazards
fact a dried out Christmas tree can go
from festive glow to uncontrollable
inferno in about ten seconds according
to the National Fire Protection
Association holiday trees were the first
item to ignite in 210 home fires from
2009 to 2013 which actually doesn’t seem
like that many however one in 31 of
those fires caused at least one death
compared to an average of one death in
141 for other home fires and then
there’s turkey fryer fires in case you
didn’t know in recent years lots of
Americans have been deep-frying their
Thanksgiving turkeys sometimes with less
than fire free results
meanwhile although Chanukah celebrations
involve both lighting candles and frying
latkes and oil there don’t seem to be a
lot of menorah fires reported but it’s
still a good idea to keep a close eye on
them while they’re lit and keep them to
a reasonable size it was on Tuesday
night when a ten-foot menorah went up in
flames damaged beyond repair
number four the Sun can light up your
home look up in the sky and you will see
the greatest of all fire hazards in 2014
a London house briefly went up in flames
when a robe caught fire by way of
refracted rays from a glass doorknob
another English home caught on fire
because of an empty Nutella jar on a
sunny windowsill and just as kids play
around with magnifying glasses and fire
in their early years adults too can
inadvertently play a game with mother
nature but when they’re not always
prepared for shut up about the Sun shut
up about the Sun from 2009 to 2014 the
London Fire Brigade alone reported 33
such cases of house fires
so maybe place glass objects somewhere
else so that refracted rays don’t light
up your home number 3 heavy drinkers
don’t fare well in house fires when a
house fire begins you need to be quick
on your feet right the answer is yes and
well heavy drinkers have been known to
be a bit slow an Australian study looked
at 95 people who had died in house fires
in the state of Victoria in a certain
period and found that 58% of those had
enough alcohol in their system to be
intoxicated since the sober people
actually had more obstacles to avoid the
researchers figure that the drunks
probably could have escaped if they’d
woken sooner the authors of that study
also recommended that since drunk people
are harder to wake up in case of a fire
one person in the house should remain
sober dead get off which sounds like a
pretty fun night doesn’t it well have
five others please no sorry can we have
four of those
what number to new homes burn better
because new is always better this theory
applies to everything everything the
open floor plans and high ceilings of
many new constructions can give you a
majestic expansive feeling but all that
open space means more oxygen to feed
fire and huge spaces for smoke to pool
in contrast older homes typically have
smaller spaces many new homes are built
using lightweight construction and
decorated with combustible synthetic
materials in contrast to slower burning
solid lumber and natural materials of
previous generations all the
petroleum-based fabrics in your couches
curtains and pillows will burn hot and
fast when a house fire does begin in a
home like this it’s been reported that
people have only a few minutes to escape
a significant decrease from the
estimated 17 minutes of old construction
styles number 1 fire fines are worth
there’s only so much one can do to
prevent house fires and blazes can begin
in bizarre ways it makes sense of course
that’ll let cigarette can start a fire
but it’s difficult to predict when a
Pidgeon will drop one down the chimney
and inadvertently spark up a bird’s nest
this actually happened in London even an
air-conditioner can transform a cool
setting into Dante’s Inferno thanks to a
simple mechanical failure discarded
9-volt batteries ironically the same
kind that power most smoke detectors can
spark a fire if their contacts touch
metal and an unattended shorty can burn
the roof to the ground on the dance
floor
whether it’s a leaky short-circuiting
dishwasher or the Sun beaming in on
glass objects fire often finds away exit
plans sprinkler systems smoke detectors
and fire extinguishers are all worthy
investments so what’s the weirdest way
you’ve seen a fire start for more
delicious lofty top tens and leaky
dishwasher top fives be sure to
