Too hot in the Kitchen!

8/8/2022 (Permalink)

Although house fires are generally down in numbers during the summer months, you still need to be on your toes when cooking. Cooking accidents are one of the top leading causes of house fires. Grease and oils can ignite an unattended stove and cause a fire to spread all throughout your home! Another way that a fire can occur is with dish towels or other things being left on or near the stove. These items can ignite easily and consequently spread to other nearby items or surfaces.

Taking the cooking outdoors in the summer doesn't necessarily keep you safe from a cooking fire. Mishandled propane tanks are responsible for many fires and injuries. 

Summertime is a time to be careful as always whether you are cooking indoors or outdoors. Enjoy the easy breezy days of summer but stay on your toes when cooking.
