[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure how much it matters but the data from the report above does not involve unattended cooking but instead it seems like the majority of fires started when people were actively cooking and made things worse when they tried to put the fire out.

You are incorrect.  I bolded the line from the report:

[b]Unattended cooking was by far the leading contributing factor in these fires. [/b]

and the report was clear that unattended meant both cases where individuals left the house or were still in the house, but left the cooking unattended such as going to sleep or being in a different part of the house.

In 2011 alone, there were 156,300 home fires.  Cooking caused 43% or just over 67000 fires.  Unattended cooking cause more of those 67000 fires than any other cause.  There were 10's of thousands of house fires caused by unattended cooking.[/quote]

What kind of unattended cooking?  Cooking where you did not have enough liquid? High heat cooking? Cooking in oil? Cooking with an old stove that was not connected to an electrical supply up to code?

WHENVER you see statistics, use your brain and try to peel back the onion.[/quote]
