05.01.2022 We all love a home cooked dinner, but dont let it turn to tragedy. Heres some fire saftey tips when cooking in the kitchen and what to do if a fire does occur, with 80% of house fires starting in the kitchen. Never leave cooking unattended. Stay in the kitchen while cooking and turn off the stove before you leave.... Dont put anything metallic in the microwave and always double-check the timer. Keep matches and lighters out of reaches of children. There are many dangerous substances in the kitchen. Flammable materials such as aerosols, cleaning agents and cooking oils should be stored away from heat. Avoid cooking under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Keep loose clothing, fabrics, tea towels, curtains and flammable items away from the stove. Turn pot handles inwards. Pot handles hanging over the edge of the stove can be easily knocked or grabbed by children. Keep your oven, rangehood and grill clean and in good working order. A build-up of grease and fat can ignite in a fire. If your pan catches fire, heres what to do. Turn off the stove (if safe to do so) and use the lid to cover the flame.
