NFPA warns of Valentine's Day fire risks, emphasizing safety in cooking and candle use.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) warns of fire risks during Valentine's Day celebrations, highlighting cooking and candle use as leading causes of home fires. For cooking safety, stay in the kitchen, set timers, and keep a lid nearby to smother small fires. For candles, the NFPA recommends using flameless alternatives or ensuring real candles are at least a foot away from flammable objects and never left unattended. The organization also stresses the importance of working smoke alarms and having a home escape plan.
