tip: The majority of house fires start in the kitchen. Here are some ways you can prevent those fires from your Clark County Firefighters:
π₯ Never pour water on a grease fire
π₯ Always turn off the gas and smother stove-top fires
π₯ If something is on fire inside your oven, turn the oven off and keep the oven door closed
π₯ Always unplug your small and countertop kitchen appliances after use
π₯ Never leave your kitchen while cooking
π₯ Always keep towels, oven mitts, and anything that might catch fire away from your stovetop and open flames
π₯ Never use your oven to heat your home
As always, fire safety starts with you. Check and maintain working smoke detectors, keep a charged fire extinguisher available, and stay fire safe.
