If you leave your kitchen, turn the burner off.

-Keep an eye on what you fry! Most cooking fires start when frying food.

-Roll up your sleeves. This reduces the chance that they’ll catch fire.

-Supervise children and pets. Make sure they stay away from the stove.

-Watch what you’re cooking! If you see any smoke, or grease starts to boil, turn the burner off.

- If there’s an oven fire, keep the door closed. Turn off the oven and keep the door closed until it’s cool.

-Move things that can burn away from the stove. This includes dishtowels, bags, boxes, paper and curtains.

-Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. This is so no one can bump them or pull them over.

-Only use a turkey fryer outdoors. Make sure that it the fryer is on a sturdy surface, away from things that can burn.

-Check smoke alarms. Make sure to have working smoke alarms close to where anyone may be sleeping.
