Fire deaths drop to 25 year low in Ohio
Fire fatalities hit a 25-year low in 2011 and dipped almost 18 percent over 2010, according to State Fire Marshal Larry Flowers.
In 2011, Ohio had 126 fire-related fatalities, down from 153 fire-related deaths in 2010 and below the previous low of 130 deaths, which occurred in 2007.
Flowers attributed the drop to the use of smoke alarms, safety education and firefighter training.
Smoke detectors should be placed on every level of a home and inside each sleeping area and tested monthly, the fire marshal’s office said.
