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

The OSFM's Smoking Material and Home Oxygen Fire Program aims to raise awareness about fire risks from smoking, reduce occurrences through data analysis, provide best practices education, collaborate with partners, and offer resource support.
