Don’t Let Your Holidays Go Up In Flames
Test your smoke alarms BEFORE the holiday season begins
• Unattended cooking is the leading cause of residential fires during the holidays . Look while you cook—if you must step away from the kitchen, even for a moment, turn off the heat and move food off of hot elements .
• Set a timer if you are using the oven or slow simmering, but never leave the house with the oven on .
• If you are under the influence of alcohol or cannabis, don’t use cooking equipment!
• Never use water to try to extinguish a cooking fire . If you decide to fight a small cooking fire on the stovetop, smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning the burner off . Leave the pan covered until it has cooled completely . For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed .
• Smoking materials are the second leading cause of fires . Improperly discarded butts can smolder for hours, igniting a fire long after the party is over .
• Ensure smoking materials are butted out in deep ashtrays made of metal or glass . Soak the contents of the ashtray in water before disposing
