Kitchen Fire Prevention
Firefighters are asking residents to take extra care when cooking after a recent rise in kitchen fires.
Cooking being left unattended is one of the most common causes of kitchen fires, followed by faulty wiring and smoking materials.
By following a few simple steps, you could reduce the chances of having a fire in your home:
If you're called away from the cooker, then take pans off the heat.
Don't cook if you're affected by alcohol or prescription drugs.
Don't put oven gloves or tea towels down on the cooker after you've use them.
Always clean the grill pan after using it. |  | On Reflection Charity Calendar Now on Sale
