Kitchen Fire Safety

Yes, the Holidays are upon us folks and that means more cooking and celebrating. Most families cook more in the months of November and December than any other time of the year. From Thanksgiving through New Year’s, we spend a lot more time in the kitchen and believe it or not we are more prone to fires in the winter months.   Following these few tips can help prevent kitchen fires and keep your family and home safe so you can enjoy the upcoming Holidays!

• Keep appliances serviced, clean and in good repair
• Install a smoke detector near the kitchen area
• Use caution when lighting the pilot light or burner on a gas stove
• Never overfill pot or pan with excessive grease
• Never leave your stove unattended

Be safe and enjoy your family and friends this holiday season!
