Statistics from the National Fire Protection Association reveal that between 2014-2018, US fire departments handled an average of 172,900 home structure fires triggered by cooking each year. This led to 550 civilian deaths, 4,820 injuries, and property damage exceeding $1 billion. Unattended cooking was the primary cause, and more than 25% of fatalities occurred while people were asleep. If you share our concern, it's time to put an end to these preventable tragedies, and that's precisely why we created DishKnob!
