Fire Safety at Home:

Cooking fires are one of the most common causes of damage in homes. Many of these fires can be prevented.

You can help by:

• Staying in the kitchen while cooking.
• Never pouring water on a grease fire. Use a lid to cover it instead.
• Keeping towels, bags, and paper away from the stove.
• Checking the oven before turning it on.
• Not overloading outlets or power bars.
• Replacing damaged cords
• Charging phones or laptops on hard surfaces, not beds or under pillows, or couches.
• Keeping heaters at least three (3) feet away from anything that can burn.
• Blowing out candles before leaving the room or going to bed.
• Testing smoke alarms every month and reporting any problems
