Kitchen Fire Safety
This is potentially the most hazardous area in the home. Every year cooking appliances cause over 50% of accidental fires, killing around 70 people per year and causing approximately 5,000 injuries.
• Ensure your cooker and grill pans are kept free from accumulations of fat.
• Ensure the cooker is turned off when you are not using it.
