September is the perfect time for college students to think about fire safety. The Center for Campus Fire Safety reports that August and September have the highest occurrence of fire related fatalities in college student housing. College students are just beginning to live on their own while also being more likely to engage in high-risk behavior.

The National Fire Protection Association reports that between 2000 and 2015, 89 fires killed 126 people in on-campus and off-campus college student housing across the United States. College students studying abroad face different risks as fire safety regulations vary around the world.

The Jasmine Jahanshahi Fire Safety Foundation equips students and educators with the tools and training to stay safe from fire-related emergencies worldwide. Our friendly guides Sparks and Snuff can help college students protect themselves and their friends from harm by sharing the basics of fire prevention.
