🔥🚨Fire Prevention Week🚨🔥

Here are a few tips to keep in mind if you have a cooking fire

“What To Do If You Have a Cooking Fire”

🔥Always keep a lid nearby when you are cooking. If a small grease fire starts in a pan, smother the flames by sliding the lid over the pan. Turn off the burner. Do not move the pan. To keep the fire from restarting, leave the lid on until the pan has cooled.

🔥Never pour water on a cooking pan grease fire

🔥In case of an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed until it is cool. Only open the door once you are confident the fire is completely out, standing to the side as you open the oven door.
