Avoid Kitchen Fires In Your Hallandale Home

SERVPRO of Hollywood/Hallandale/Aventura knows that cooking equipment is the leading cause of fire damage and fire injuries in the home.

SERVPRO wants you to be safe, so to help prevent fire damage, we have these suggestions for preventing kitchen fires. They make more sense than not cooking at home.

SERVPRO of Hollywood/Hallandale/Aventura offers these tips for Fire Prevention in the kitchen:

• Keep anything that can catch fire at least 3 feet away from the stove top
• Many kitchen items can catch fire, including: dish towels, oven mitts, recipes, wooden tools, and loose clothing
• Never operate the stove or oven when you are tired or have been drinking alcohol
• Keep children at least 3 feet away from the stove or oven
• If you are frying, broiling, grilling, or boiling food, stay in the kitchen. If you leave, even for a short time, turn off the heat
• If you are baking, roasting, or simmering food, stay in the house. If you leave, even for a short time, turn off the heat

Remember that fire is fast. If you cannot contain a fire immediately, leave and bring everyone with you. Call 9-1-1 from outside the home.

SERVPRO of Hollywood/Hallandale/Aventura reminds you that fire prevention is the best strategy against fire damage.

Prevention is the best way to avoid fire damage, mold damage, and water damage from a kitchen fire.
