Kitchen Safety

• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, boiling or broiling food
• Never leave your cooking unattended
• Keep young children and pets away from the stove
• Examine toasters, coffee makers and other cooking devices for signs of cracking, fraying or wear on cords and plugs
• Always check and make sure that all burners, ovens and small appliances are turned off before leaving the house or going to bed
• Unplug kettles and other appliances when not in use.
• Keep anything that can catch fire – curtains, towels, oven mitts, wooden utensils, away from the stove
  

Home Escape Plans

• Make a home escape plan. Draw a map of your home showing all doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home
• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily
