What about the statistically relevant portion who set their homes ablaze by attempting to use candles for light during power outages?
Or space heaters, which is usually the larger chunk down here. Up there it probably is wood heat.
Kerosene lanterns probably aren't quite as high - oddly, people who know how to use a kerosene lantern are usually far more careful with it than people are with candles. Don't know why.
