Kitchen Fire Safety Never leave food unattended on the stove while it is cooking. Always use a timer when food is cooking or baking in/on the stove/oven, so that food does not burn. Never use water on grease fires. Put a lid on them instead. Always keep a fire extinguisher in the house. Make sure everyone in the house knows how to use it. Also, make sure that the meter on it shows that it is fully charged. If it isn�t, take it to a reputable safety supply company to have it recharged or replaced. Never allow children to play in the kitchen when you are cooking. Never allow children to cook in the kitchen without adult supervision. Be careful when removing hot food containers from stoves, oven and microwaves. Always use pot holders. Make sure all pots and pans have their handles turned toward the back of the stove so they don�t accidentally get knocked over. Make sure stoves have the control knobs on the back of the stove or get a cover for them when the stove is not in use. When you see or smell smoke or fire, get out of the house/building and stay out. Every family should have a meeting place to got together once they are outside. Know ho to call 911 in the event of an emergency.

The number should be at least three inches tall and be seen from the street at any time of the day or night. Always know at least two ways out of a room, house, or building. Have smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of the house and one in each bedroom. Change the batteries in them twice a year. Remember "Change your clocks change your batteries." Even if it is a family member who is involved in a medical emergency, do not follow an ambulance to a hospital. Find out to what hospital the ambulance will be transporting and then just meet your loved one there. Posted 12/07/2009
