• electric heater or wood stove too close to combustibles
• smoking materials falling on combustibles
• improper disposal of wood-stove or fireplace ashes
• worn or overloaded electrical cords or power strips
• hot light fixtures too close to combustibles (e.g., halogen lamps)
• children playing with fire (including candles, matches, lighters)
