Fire Safety Advice
Mostkitchenresoccurwhenpeopleare
distracted or leave things unattended.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while cook-
ing. If you’re called away from the cooker,
either take pans off the heat, or switch off
your hob.
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.
