  Cooking safely for families

  Cooking is the number one cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of fires in the kitchen. This year Fire Prevention Week will “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!™". It is important to understand what actions you can take to stay safe in the kitchen. 

  Spending time in the kitchen with friends and family is one of our favourite activities, but it’s essential to serve up fire safety every time.
