Fire Safety Tips for Holiday Cooking in Andrews?

12/3/2024 (Permalink)

We are trained and certified to restore fire damage in Georgetown and Williamsburg Counties.

Our local Georgetown and Horry Counties teams want everyone in Andrews to have a safe and fire-free holiday season. Unattended cooking is a leading cause of fire damage in the United States. Here are some tips from the National Fire Protection Association to prevent cooking fires:

• Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop.
• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
• If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
• Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.
• If you have a small (grease) cooking fire and decide to fight the fire...
• On the stovetop, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.
