The source of fire in most households is usually concentrated in the kitchen or the family's altar. These items can be fabric, paper, gasoline, oil, etc. Therefore these flammable objects need to be intentionally placed away from the source of fire to ensure the safest. This is an easy but effective way to constrain fire incidents in your home.
