50% of Structure Fires caused by appliances

Cooking equipment (including stoves, ovens, and ranges) is the primary cause of residential fires, responsible for approximately 49–50% of all home structure fires. Across the U.S., about 350,800 home fires occur each year (based on 2016–2020 averages), with nearly half starting in the kitchen.
