Many countries around the world celebrate Chinese New Year. For many it’s a time to celebrate the end of an old year and the beginning of a new one, at home cooking a special meal for family and friends.  With people spending more time at home - cooking while entertaining or relaxing with family or friends, the risk of fire increases. People are more likely to be distracted during this time of year and therefore more vulnerable to fire.
