Ohio Fire Deaths Surge as Officials Sound Alarm

Ohio is facing a terrifying surge in fire deaths, with fatalities already on pace to shatter last year’s record of 126. Officials are sounding the alarm after deadly fires—including one in Lancaster that killed a baby—highlight the human cost behind the numbers. A major culprit? The deadly mix of home oxygen use and open flames like smoking. Another key issue: too many homes lack working smoke alarms—or people ignore them when they sound. Firefighters urge everyone to test alarms regularly and reach out to local departments or the Red Cross for help. Lives depend on it.
