To prevent kitchen fires, it is first important to know what causes them!

To prevent kitchen fires, it is first important to know what causes them! There are many different ways a fire can start in the kitchen. Some of those ways are listed below:

• Leaving flammable objects near gas stove
• Leaving cooking food unattended
• Leaving turned on oven unattended
• Putting flammable objects in the microwave

Here are a couple of more ways to practice kitchen safety from sanjoseca.gov:

• Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. This way, they cannot be bumped into, and children cannot grab them.
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Make sure you have the correct type of extinguisher and know how to effectively use it.
• Keep cooking equipment clean. Crumbs in a toaster, built-up grease on the stovetop, and excess dust behind your appliances are fire hazards.
