Fire prevention has many methods, but can be generally summed up into four categories: reduce the chance of a fire happening, early detection and suppression of fires when they do happen, proper evacuation planning in case of a fire, and post-fire cleanup. One way to reduce the chance of a fire is to make sure that any potential sources of ignition are kept away from flammable materials. This includes making sure that cigarettes are put out properly, not smoking in bed, keeping cooking areas clean and free of grease buildup, and making sure electrical wiring is up to code. Another common method of fire prevention is through the use of smoke detectors and fire sprinklers.

There are many methods of fire prevention, but some of the most common ones include having working smoke detectors in your home, keeping a fire extinguisher in an easy-to-access location, and making sure that your wiring is up to code. Additionally, it's important to have a designated meeting spot outside of your home in case of a fire, and to make sure that everyone in your household knows how to evacuate safely in the event of a fire.
