PROBLEM ASSESSMENT MATRIX

                                  So the next step was to plot a problem assessment matrix. For this i collected all the information available from the various surveys. So i had five categories. Based on it my matrix will be plotted. The data collected was through the surveys.
                         Fire accidents are common and lot of people die every year. Major reasons for it being:

·       1.Unattended cooking was the leading factor in home cooking fires.

·       2.Two-thirds (66%) of home cooking fires started with the ignition of food or other cooking materials.

·        3. Clothing was the item first ignited in less than 1% of these fires, but these incidents accounted for 18% of the cooking fire deaths.

·         4.Ranges or cooktops accounted for the majority (61%) of home cooking fire incidents. Ovens accounted for 13%.

·         5.More than half (54%) of reported non-fatal home cooking fire injuries occurred when the victims tried to fight the fire themselves.
