Kitchen fire safety

Stay in the kitchen while you cook.

  1. 1

    Never pour water on burning oil or fat — cover the pan with a lid or fire blanket and turn off the heat.

  2. 2

    Keep tea towels, paper and packaging away from the hob.

  3. 3

    Turn pan handles inwards so they cannot be knocked.

  4. 4

    Clean grease from hobs, ovens and extractor hoods regularly.

  5. 5

    Keep a fire blanket within reach of the cooker.
