Smoking Material & Home Oxygen

Smoking Material and Home Oxygen Fire Prevention

Did you know? In 2022, smoking was the third leading cause of fires in Oregon.  On average, 20 people in Oregon die each year because of a fire caused by things like cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco. These fires are easily preventable. 

The OSFM's Smoking Material and Home Oxygen Fire Program is designed to increase awareness of the risks associated with fires caused by smoking and reduce occurrence through shared data analysis, best practice education, collaboration, and resource support.
