The leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. It\u2019s important to be alert to prevent cooking fires.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol      don\u2019t use the stove or stovetop.<\/li>\n<li>Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or      broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time,      turn off the stove.<\/li>\n<li>If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling      food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and      use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.<\/li>\n<li>Keep anything that can catch fire \u2014 oven mitts, wooden      utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains \u2014 away from your stovetop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If you have a cooking fire<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you      to help contain the fire.<\/li>\n<li>Call <strong>9-1-1<\/strong> or the local emergency number after      you leave.<\/li>\n<li>If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are      getting out and you have a clear way out.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a lid nearby when you\u2019re cooking to smother small      grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn      off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.<\/li>\n<li>For an oven fire turn off the heat and keep the door      closed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>URL:<\/strong> http:\/\/www.nfpa.org\/itemDetail.asp?categoryID=1695&amp;itemID=41075&amp;URL=Safety%20Information\/For%20consumers\/Causes\/Cooking\/Cooking%20safety%20tips<\/p>\n<p><strong>Candle safety tips <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Candles may be pretty to look at but they are a cause of home fires \u2014 and home fire deaths. Remember, a candle is an open flame, which means that it can easily ignite anything that can burn.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blow out all candles when you      leave the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and      other areas where people may fall asleep.<\/li>\n<li>Keep candles at least 12 inches      away from anything that can burn.<\/li>\n<li>Think about using flameless      candles in your home. They look and smell like real candles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If you do burn candles, make sure that you&#8230; <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use candle holders that are      sturdy, and won\u2019t tip over easily.<\/li>\n<li>Put candle holders on a sturdy,      uncluttered surface.<\/li>\n<li>Light candles carefully. Keep      your hair and any loose clothing away from the flame.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t burn a candle all the way      down \u2014 put it out before it gets too close to the\u00a0holder      or container.<\/li>\n<li>Never use a candle if oxygen\u00a0is      used in the home.<\/li>\n<li>Have flashlights and\u00a0battery-powered      lighting\u00a0ready to use during a power\u00a0outage.
