Kitchen fires are a common hazard in both residential and commercial settings, especially during the summer months when cooking activities increase. Here are some important tips to prevent kitchen fires and ensure safety.
Leaving cooking food unattended is a leading cause of kitchen fires. Always stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you must leave, turn off the stove.
Grease can easily ignite if it gets too hot. To prevent grease fires, heat oil slowly and keep a lid nearby to smother flames. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire; instead, use a fire extinguisher or a metal lid to cut off the oxygen supply.
Regularly inspect your kitchen appliances for any signs of wear and tear. Faulty electrical appliances can overheat and start a fire. Ensure all electrical cords are in good condition and not frayed or damaged.
Loose clothing and long hair can catch fire if they come into contact with heat sources. Wear snug-fitting clothing and tie back long hair while cooking to reduce the risk.
