Jovanny Galarza • December 2, 2019

There’s something about cooking for the holidays that ignites a fire within us. Unfortunately, that’s not the only fire ignited. The holidays are the peak time of the year for house fires and damage. You deserve a fire-free holiday with your family. With our fire safety tips, that’s precisely what you’ll have.

How Do Home Cooking Fires Get Started?
According to the National Fire Protection Association, December 25th is the second-worst day for house fires. The top cause is an unattended kitchen.
We know you have a full meal to cook and desserts to bake. It’s tough toiling over a hot stove. Just a little bit of caution and fire safety know-how can protect you from a blaze.
Easy Ways to Prevent Holiday Home Cooking Fires?
- Keep a Reminder — It’s easy to walk away from the stove to catch the last few minutes of a holiday special. Bring an oven mitt as a reminder.
- Children — Children are curious by nature and want to help in the kitchen. Try to keep them well away from the stove and oven.
- Grease Fire — Unlike a regular fire, water does not work on a grease fire. You need to cut off its oxygen and smother the flames with a lid.
