🔥 It's Fire Prevention Week! 🔥
The theme of Fire Prevention Week 2023 is "Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention."
Here are some tips from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) on how to cook with caution:
• Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop.
• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
• If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
• Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.
