Cooking safety

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries.

  • Stay in the kitchen when you fry, grill or broil.
  • Keep a lid nearby. If a pan catches fire, slide the lid on and turn off the burner.
  • Never throw water on a grease fire.
  • Keep towels, oven mitts and packaging away from the stovetop.
  • Keep kids and pets 3 feet away from the stove.

In an emergency, always call 911.
