Diminish the Risk Don’t overload electrical outlets and unplug appliances when you are not using them. If you are cooking, never leave a frying pan on the stove unattended. Heating systems should be installed by a professional, and they should be placed away from curtains. Also, make sure candles are not near cloth drapes. If your parents smoke inside the house, they should never leave cigarettes burning without supervision; but it would be better if they quit smoking.
In addition, it is a good idea to have a re alarm and to keep a re extinguisher at hand and learn how to use it.
