FIRE SAFETY ADVICE
Mostkitchenresoccurwhenpeopleare
distracted or leave things unattended, so
remember:
If you’re called away from the cooker - by
the phone or someone at the door, either
take pans off the heat, or switch off your
hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while cook-
ing.
Ifyoudohaveareinthekitchen,don’t
take any risks - get everyone out of your
home and call the Fire Brigade.
If a pan catches re:
• Do not move it - it is likely to be
extremely hot.
• Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so
- but never lean over a pan to reach
the controls.
• Ifyouhaveareblanket,putitover
the pan.
• Ifyouhaveputthereout,leavethe
pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more dan-
gers in your kitchen.
• Neverllachippan(orotherdeep-
fatfryer)morethanone-thirdfullof
oil
• Donotuseareextinguisherona
pan of oil - the force of the extin-
guishercanspreadthereandcreate
areball.
If you have an electrical re in the
kitchen:
• Pull the plug out, or switch off the
power at the fuse box - this may be
enoughtostopthereimmediately
• Smothertherewithareblanket,
or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide
extinguisher
• Remember:neverusewateronan
