To prevent cooking fires, you must be alert. You will not be alert if you are sleepy, have consumed alcohol, or have taken medicine or drugs that make you drowsy

If a fire does start in your kitchen use a lid or an extinguisher. Cooking with grease/oil should be done very carefully. Stay in the kitchen while cooking.

In a release recognizing #FirePreventionWeek, StatsCan says 1/3 of fires from 2015 to 2021 were cooking related and confirms cooking is the leading cause of fire and injuries. Cooking safety starts with YOU! Pay attention to fire prevention. ™ bit.ly/3PUXYjN

Keep the area around your cooking space clear of things that can burn. The stove top is not a storage space.
