Cooking fires are one of the most common causes of fires in households. The following tips will help you effectively prevent fires in the kitchen. Follow Southeast Fire Prevention and Control to always update necessary news for readers.
1. Always keep an eye on the food being cooked in the kitchen The most common cause of fire is because people do not pay attention to the food being cooked on the stove. Don't leave the kitchen while you're cooking. If you need to go out, turn off the stove and put down the pots and pans.
2. Review your clothes Sleeves that are too long, hanging loose, a loose shirt or an apron... can all accidentally catch fire. Therefore, you should dress neatly, choose tight-fitting, short-sleeved shirts and tie your apron tightly when in the kitchen.
3. Pay attention to objects around the stove Towels, kitchen gloves, utensils made from flammable materials and even curtains can easily catch fire if they are placed near a burning stove. You must keep flammable things away from the stove and be careful when using a towel to remove the pot from the burning stove. Using fingerless gloves is most suitable. If you must use a towel, be careful not to let the remaining towel fall to the bottom and touch the hot stove.
4. Place a fire extinguisher in or near the kitchen In case of fire, a fire extinguisher will be the most necessary tool to help you extinguish the fire promptly. However, make sure you really know how to use them.
5. Regularly change the batteries in your smoke detector It will be helpful if you place a smoke detector in the kitchen or in an adjacent room. But, buying a smoke detector is not enough, you must make sure it always works well by regularly checking and replacing the battery about every 6 months.
6. Do not pour hot oil into the trash Absolutely do not heat oil at too high a temperature because it can cause fire. You also should not pour hot oil into the trash. Even if the oil is no longer burning, it can still burn other items in the trash. You should wait for the oil to cool, pour it into an old jar, and then throw it in the trash.
7. Turn off the candles A candlelit dinner will be very romantic, but candles are also one of the common causes of house fires. Besides using large, short candles (this type of candle is less likely to tilt or fall while burning), you should turn off the candle as soon as you finish using it or leave the room.
8. Prepare to deal with a fire Even though you don't want a fire to happen, you still need to make a plan to prevent a fire from happening. The best way when a fire occurs on the stove is to immediately cover the pot or pan you are cooking with to put out the fire in the pot or pan. Absolutely do not pour water into burning pots and pans or lift them into the sink. This not only spreads the fire to the sink area, but also puts you at risk of burns.
9. Have a fire escape plan Preset the fire department number (114) into your phone and discuss with family members a plan to escape the fire, including getting out of the house and gathering at a certain location.
10. Remember the principle: ''Stop, lie down and roll'' In case you are caught in fire, follow the principle: ''Stop, lie down and roll''. Don't try to run when your clothes are on fire and burning. Stop, lie down on the ground and roll over to put out the fire. After that, go immediately to the hospital to treat burns. Please refer to: fire alarm system, some equipment such as automatic fire alarm system and addressable fire alarm system.
