Preventing Possible Fire Causes

By Barry N. Cremeans


Injuries and deaths are caused by fire are common in any community. A fire destroys property also kills people. Therefore fire prevention steps should be taken by the community.

Make it a point not stir outside kitchen while cooking. Any work to be done outside will have to wait till you have finished cooking. As otherwise the food may get burnt and may also be the cause for fire.

All things which can catch fire should be kept at a safe distance from the cooking area. Napkins etc, if they catch fire may make you panicky.

Automatic switching off feature should be incorporated in all the electrical appliances you buy. After being on for some time they will automatically switched off. You can go out with a fearing of safety even if you have forgotten to switch off any appliance.

If you wear a dress with sleeves ensure that your sleeves are rolled up while cooking. This is a precaution against catching fire. Wearing mitts will help preventing your hands getting scalded due to excess heat. Clothes which hang loose if they happen to get in contact with any hot surface are also causes of catching fire.

Any grilling you want to do must be done outside the house at a safe distance. You should ensure that no flammable material is lying about. Children should always be kept away, as even after you have finished with grill enough materials which can cause fire are still left in the grill.

You should engage a professional for cleaning the kitchen, stove, heating devices etc; in order to prevent mishaps and fire. Before using any appliance make sure about their usability. Read the instructional manual if you have to, since they will let you know what you can and can't do with their product.

Installation of fire detectors in the house especially in kitchens will alert automatically the fire department. Putting out the fire will be done by them without loss of time.
