Kitchen Fire Safety
Do not leave stovetop cooking unattended, especially when hot oil or frying in involved.
Wear tight fitting or short-sleeve clothing; bulky sleeves can be ignited by burners.
Keep towels, potholders, paper and anything else that can burn away.
If you have a grease fire, turn off the burner and cover the pan with a lid to cut off oxygen to the fire. Let the pan cool before removing the lid. Never try to
take a burning pan to the sink and NEVER use water on a grease fire. Use a fire extinguisher only if you know how.
Do not fill fryers more than 1/3 full for deep frying.
Keep stove and oven clean.
Turn pot handles away from front.
Don’t use oven to heat home; it can become overheated and cause a fire.
For an oven fire, turn off the oven and keep the door closed until the fire is out and the oven cools.
Keep a portable fire extinguisher readily available.
Unplug counter-top electrical appliances when not in use.
