Kitchen fires are one of the most common types of residential fires. 

Here are a few reminders to help keep your home safe:
Stay in the kitchen whenever you're cooking on the stove-top.
Keep anything that can burn—towels, paper products, oven mitts, and curtains—away from the stove.
If a small pan fire occurs, slide a lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Never use water on a grease fire.
If the fire is growing or you feel unsafe, get everyone out, close the door behind you if possible, and call 911 from outside.

We're grateful everyone made it out safely today, and we appreciate our crews' quick work to protect lives and property.
