2020 Fire Prevention Week is Here…Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!!!

 October 4, 2020

Today marks the beginning of Fire Prevention Week!  This year’s campaign, “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!” works to educate everyone about the simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves, and those around them, safe in the kitchen.

Did you know?
Cooking is the #1 cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of fires in the kitchen and Thanksgiving is the leading day for fires involving cooking equipment.

In order to keep you and your family safe while cooking, stay in the kitchen when you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly and stay in the home. Always keep a lid nearby when cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it’s cool. Keep anything that can catch fire away from your stovetop. Loose clothing can hang down onto stove burners and catch fire. Wear short, close-fitting, or tightly rolled sleeves when cooking. Lastly, have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried.

i watched for hours thinking i'd never be allowed to know what happened there, at the bank across from me over a couple hours and at the other locations all that same evening because like you're all part of one big club and i ain't in it.

That fire could’ve destroyed.................💁🏻

Great job by all!!

Possibly a passing train not hobos

How’d it start

Let it burn it’s surrounded by water

Just curious since the island is surrounded by water would it put easier to just let it burn

I saw this and could figure out how

That looks just like my front & back yard. We live on the Schuylkill River in Port Indian. We're safe though.

What is the Schuylkill supposed to crest at?

Are the animals safe?
