Cooking fires are the #1 cause of home fires. Stay in the kitchen when frying or grilling. Use a timer for baking or roasting. Keep flammable items away from the stovetop. If a grease fire starts, cover it with a lid & turn off the burner. #Cranbrook @cityofcranbrook #FireSafety

Candles are cozy but also an open flame. Blow them out before leaving or sleeping. Keep them 1 ft from anything flammable. Use sturdy holders. Skip candles during outages, flashlights are safer. December is peak candle fire season. #Cranbrook @cityofcranbrook #FireSafety
