Put A Lid On It – Fire Preventation Week

You can take simple steps to keep a small kitchen fire from getting out of control.

Always keeps a lid nearby when cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it’s cool.
Never discharge a portable fire extinguisher into a grease fire because it will spread the fire.
In case of an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed until the oven is cool. After the fire, have the oven serviced before using it again.
If you have a microwave oven fire, turn the appliance off immediately and keep the oven door closed. Have the microwave oven serviced before using it again.
