π₯π³ SAFETY SUNDAY: KITCHEN HAZARDS π³π₯
The kitchen is the heart of the home, but it can also be one of the most common places for fires and injuries. Angier & Black River Fire Department reminds everyone to keep safety on the menu!
π₯ Stay in the kitchen while cooking β Never leave frying, grilling, or broiling food unattended.
π§€ Keep things that can burn away from heat β Towels, oven mitts, paper products, and food packaging should stay away from the stove.
π³ Turn pot handles inward β Help prevent hot food and liquids from being knocked or pulled from the stove.
π§ Create a kid-free zone β Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from the stove and cooking area.
π§― Know what to do if a fire starts β For a small grease fire, slide a lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Never put water on a grease fire.
π¨ Make sure your smoke alarms are working and always have a clear way out of your home.
WATCH WHAT YOU HEAT. KEEP FIRE SAFETY IN THE KITCHEN.
