A moment of distraction is all it takes for a cooking fire to start. Cooking remains one of the leading causes of home fires, but most are preventable.
Remember these simple tips:
🍳 Stay in the kitchen while cooking! Don’t leave the stove unattended.
🧯 Keep anything that can burn away from the stove.
👨👩👧 Use the back burners whenever possible and keep children and pets at a safe distance.
🧼 Clean grease from your stovetop and oven regularly.
🚫 Never use water on a grease fire—cover it with a lid if it’s safe to do so and call 911 if the fire grows. ...
