Do you know what to do if you accidently start a small grease fire? Put a lid on it and turn the heat off or, if it's small and manageable, pour baking soda or salt on it to smother the fire. Learn more about National #FirePreventionWeek at fpw.org.

Don't forget to be like Bill! Keep a lid near by when cooking and never leave cooking unattended. Take time to talk to children about the importance of kitchen safety and what to do in case of a fire. Always have a meeting plan and know two ways out !! #firesafeNC #FPW2020

This week is #FirePreventionWeek. The theme is “Serving Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey is sharing home fire safety tips that focus on kitchen safety. Did you know cooking is the leading cause of home fires? Remember #FireSafety in the kitchen.

Cooking is the leading cause of U.S. home fires. Unattended equipment is a factor in one-third (31%) of those fires and half (48%) of the associated deaths. #FirePreventionWeek

Good Morning! Remember as we are home more during these upcoming months to continue to serve up fire safety in the kitchen. Have a kid-free zone of at least 3 feet from all heat sources during and after cooking !

It is Fire Prevention Week 2020. "Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen" is the theme. Did you know:

This week's SW goes to Captain David Young who volunteered to spend the final months of his thirty year career teaching the 31st Fire Academy. Instead of enjoying his time left riding in OPs, he stepped up to help improve the future of his department. Strong work Captain Young!

Do not leave a vehicle running in an enclosed garage. Be especially careful with push-button start vehicles or ones with smart keys. #COPoisoning #COtheSilentKiller #BeSafe freep.com/story/money/ca…
