Fires and Causes

From the table, it is clear, fires bring great disasters to us. More and more people are killed and houses including many valuable things are burnt out. Fires are threatening to our lives and wealth.

Look at the bar graphs we can see there are mainly three causes of fires. 40% are caused by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away, while 25% are started by the leakage of gas pots and 15% results from the children who play with matches.

Fires can be prevented if we take necessary measures. The key measure is to educate people to be careful to make fires, warn the children of the danger of playing with matches. Though we cannot avoid fires completely, we can reduce the fire disasters.
