Home » Community » Other Threats » Older Adults – Kitchen Safety
It’s important to understand that when you’re cooking at home, there’s always a chance that a fire could break out.
We often take cooking for granted - it's about making food, which we all love. It's also important to know how to avoid fires when cooking.
With all the ignition and heat sources in your average kitchen, it makes sense that most house fires begin in the kitchen. And it also stands to reason, that most kitchen fires start out small. Being prepared and having a few simple tools on hand can help you douse a small fire before it turns into something unmanageable.
We can all be forgetful at times. But forgetting things bubbling away in the kitchen could turn into an emergency. Here are some things to help you remember.
