🔥 PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT — KITCHEN FIRE SAFETY 🔥
Kitchen fires can start in seconds, but a few simple precautions can help prevent a tragedy.
🍳 Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling.
🔥 Keep towels, oven mitts, paper products, and other flammables away from the stovetop.
⏱️ Use a timer so cooking food isn’t forgotten.
👧🐾 Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from hot cooking surfaces.
🧽 Keep appliances and cooktops clean and free of grease buildup.
If a grease fire starts:
✅ Turn off the heat if it is safe to do so.
✅ Cover the pan with a metal lid or cookie sheet to smother the flames.
❌ NEVER use water on a grease fire!
☎️ If the fire is spreading, get everyone outside, close the door behind you, and call 911.
And remember—working smoke alarms save lives. Test yours monthly and make sure everyone in your household knows at least two ways out.
🔥 Stop fire before it starts. A few moments of prevention can protect your family, your home, and your life.
