Kitchen Fire Safety Tips

Keep your kitchen a safe place by following these important guidelines.

• Outfit your kitchen with a fire extinguisher and teach everyone in the family how to use it.
• If the lid to your pan is handy, use it to cover the flames and suffocate the fire. Give the pan a chance to cool down before you move it as movement may cause it to re-ignite.
• Baking soda is the best defense against small kitchen fires - simply throw baking soda at the base of the flames. Use caution when throwing baking soda at grease as splashing could result in severe burns.
• Keep the number to the local fire department handy and teach everyone in the family where it is. Call them immediately if you even suspect you can't control the fire.
