Camrose Fire Captain Jeff Knopf knows the value of cooking with maximum safety in mind.
Every experienced firefighter has attended a house fire. And the odds are significant that the relevant fire started in the kitchen.
Cooking Safety Starts with You is this year’s Fire Prevention Week theme. Fire Prevention Week continues through October 14. Cooking safety means ensuring your appliances are in as-new working order. It means keeping combustibles, including: oven mitts, wooden spoons, curtains and other items far from hot surfaces. It means being prepared to extinguish a stove or oven fire quickly using the right technique. It’s imperative to remember that a grease fire cannot be fought with water, or by transferring a flaming pot over to the sink. Starving a stovetop grease fire of oxygen, done by sliding a lid over the pan or pot until it has completely cooled, is the solution which could save you, your family and your property. Closing the oven door tightly and leaving it closed when fire flares up inside could also be your lifesaver. Always remember to shut off burners or the oven control after a lid is in place or the oven door is secure.
