A few tweaks inside your house and on your property can cut the fire risk. Each year, an average of 427 Canadians die from fires, according to the National Research Council of Canada. About 80 per cent of fires start inside homes. Wildfires also pose a potential threat, as more and more houses are being built near lush greenery.
