WEBVTT ON THE PEOPLE AND THEIR COMMUNITY. OUR MALLORY LANE SHOWS US HOW. MALLORY: MEMBERS OF THE BURIALTON FIRE DEPARTMENT AND CITIZENS FIRE ACADEMY ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR HOPING TO HAND OUT ABOUT 60 SMOKE DETECTORS TODAY. >> MAY ASK YOU, HAVE YOU GOT YOUR LIST KNOCKED OUT? THAT'S GOOD. WE DID TOO MALLORY: BURLINGTON FIRE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT CHIEF JAY MEBANE SAYS SO FAR 93 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM A FIRE IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA. COOKING IS THE NUMBER ONE CAUSE OF HOUSE FIRES >> STATISTICALLY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DATA, WHEN FIR OCCURS, WHAT MONTHS, WHAT TIMES, MOST TIMES, PEOPLE ARE ASLEEP WHEN YOU'RE ASLEEP, WHEN YOU HAVE A HOUSE FIRE, IT'S CONCERNING. WHEN YOU HAVE A SMOKE ALARM IN YOUR HOME, WE WOULD HOPE IT WOULD BE WORKING >> FIRE DEPARTMENT. MALLORY: MEBANE SAYS UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOT THE CASE. THREE OUT OF FIVE DEATHS HAPPEN BECAUSE SMOKE ALARMS AREN'T WORKING. JOHN STUBBALEFIELD IS GETTING SOME NEW ALARMS TODAY. >> IT'S A GOOD THING TO DO AND HAVE, BECAUSE MANY FIRES BE GOING ON AROUND HERE, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU MAY NEED IT. MALLORY: IF YOU DON'T HAVE WORKING SMOKE DETECTORS, CALL YOUR LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT TO SEE HOW YOU CAN INSTALL ONE. >> APPRECIATE IT. THANK
