Like electric systems, office furnaces and vents are silent threats that can spark fires if they’re not kept in good repair. Central heating systems are the most common type of heating system, responsible for more than half the office fires in this category.

How to prepare: Get a fire safety assessment, including central heating inspection.
A fire safety professional can identify heating systems that are at risk of causing fires, as well as factors that could exacerbate fires that do occur.
