Answer 1

3. The leading cause of residencial fires (cooking equipment) is not the leading cause of residential death because the fire in the equipment can be extinguished in time, while the effects of smoking can remain unsigned in time.

4. The percentage of intentionally set fires is 8%. Someone might intentionally set a fire for example by burning yard trimmings.

5. There would be more structural fires in summer due to the high temperatures and the lack of rain.
