The theme of this year&#8217;s Fire Prevention Week is &#8220;Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Fire Prevention Week is an excellent time to teach and remind people what they can do to promote fire safety,&#8221; said Solicitor General Sylvia Jones. &#8220;With more people working at home than ever before, this week will focus on tips and tools for fire safety in the kitchen. I encourage all individuals and families to take the time to review their cooking practices to prevent fires and keep loved ones safe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Simple steps to stay safe in the kitchen include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Always stay in the kitchen when cooking and turn the stove completely off if you must leave.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a proper fitting lid near the stove. If a pot of oil catches fire, slide the lid over the pot and turn off the stove. Do not move the pot. Never throw water on a burning pot.<\/li>\n<li>Keep anything that burns &#8211; plastic utensils, dishcloths, paper towels &#8211; a safe distance from the stove.<\/li>\n<li>Cook responsibly. To prevent cooking fires, you must be alert. You are not alert if you have consumed alcohol or drugs.<\/li>\n<li>Wear tight-fitted clothing or roll up your sleeves when using the stove. Loose, dangling clothing can easily catch fire.<\/li>\n<li>Keep young kids one metre away from the stove. Turn pot handles away from the stove&#8217;s edge so pots can&#8217;t easily be knocked off.<\/li>\n<li>If you burn yourself while cooking, run cool water over the wound for three to five minutes. If the burn is severe, seek medical attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;For most Ontario families, preparing food at home is part of daily life,&#8221; said Ontario Fire Marshal Jon Pegg. &#8220;Unfortunately, cooking fires occur all too often in Ontario. Making small changes to stay fire-safe can make a big difference in protecting you and your family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Fire Prevention Week runs from October 4 to 10 in communities across the province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To mark Fire Prevention Week 2020, Ontario&#8217;s Office of the Fire Marshal encourages all Ontarians to take action to ensure they are safe from kitchen fires at home.
