Fire Safety in the Kitchen

Each year in the United States, more than 100,000 fires start in the kitchen, killing hundreds of people and injuring thousands. Most of these fires can be prevented by following the basic fire-safety-tips listed below.

KEEP APPLIANCES CLEAN  
 

• Built-up grease catches fire easily.
• 43% of the people who've died in cooking fires were asleep.
• NEVER WEAR LOOSE-FITTING SLEEVES WHILE COOKING
• Clothing can come in contact with burners and catch fire.
• KEEP FLAMMABLE OBJECTS CLEAR OF THE STOVE
• Curtains, pot holders and dish towels may catch fire.
• Plugging to many appliances into the same outlet can cause a fire.
• NEVER USE APPLIANCES WITH FRAYED CORDS
• Damaged or frayed electrical cords can cause electrical shock and catch fire.
• HEAT OIL SLOWLY
• Heating oil to high to fast is an easy way to start a fire. Also, NEVER leave heating cooking oil unattended.
• NEVER OPEN DOOR ON MICROWAVE FIRES
• Opening the door will only feed oxygen to the fire. In case of small fire: Leave door closed, turn off and if possible unplug it.
• NEVER POUR WATER ON GREASE FIRES
• Pouring water on a grease fire will only cause it to spread.
• 
  In case of small fire: Carefully slide lid over the pan to
  smother the flames and turn off the burner.
