Prevention is the best way to fight fire
• Check your home room by room for fire dangers and correct them. Remember: most fires in the home start in the living room, bedroom and kitchen at night while we are sleeping.
• Kitchen
• Put a fire blanket and working fire extinguisher within easy reach in the kitchen and learn how to use them. When cooking, always use the back rings first. Turn in saucepan handles and make sure they are not over other rings.
• Keep your cooker clean – grease is a fire risk.
• Turn off the cooker when you are not using it.
• Never use your cooker for drying clothes.
• Check the cooker is switched off properly before you go to bed.
• Clean or replace filters in the extractor fan regularly.
• Chip pans are a fire risk – consider using an alternative cooking method.
Chip pans are a fire risk – preferably, don’t use them. If you use a chip pan, exercise extreme care.
• Never fill the chip pan more than one third full of oil or fat.
• Test the oil temperature by placing a small piece of bread in the pan. If it crisps quickly, it is ready.
• If the oil smokes then it is too hot. Turn the heat off and let it cool down before starting again.
• Never leave the room when the chip pan is on.
• Never move a hot chip pan.
• If using an electric deep fat fryer, empty it and store away when plugged out and completely cooled down. Electrical items – use carefully and store them properly when you are not using them.
• Don’t overload sockets. This is a major fire risk.
• Don’t run electric cables across cookers.
• Switch off and plug out electrical items when you are not using them.
• If any electrical cables or plugs are damaged, worn or frayed, do not use the electrical item and call a qualified electrician. Living room open fires
• Place a proper fitting spark guard and fire guard in front of an open fire.
• Don’t put anything on the fire guard
