House fires are less common than they used to be, but they still occur and the devastation they can cause has not changed. Pittsylvania County Fire Marshals Scott Hutcherson and David Brooks discuss the most common reasons fires start in the home and how to prevent them from occurring. They also emphasize the importance of smoke alarms -particularly at night – and how the devices, and their installation, are available free through Pittsylvania County Public Safety and the Red Cross.
