🔥 Kitchen & Cooking Items
Never leave cooking unattended—especially when using oils or grease, which can ignite quickly.
Keep flammable items (paper towels, dishcloths, wooden utensils) away from the stove.
If a grease fire starts, don’t use water—smother it with a lid or use baking soda.
🔌 Electrical Housewares
Avoid overloading outlets or extension cords with appliances like microwaves, kettles, or irons.
Replace frayed cords immediately.
Unplug appliances when not in use, especially heat-generating ones (toasters, hair dryers).
🕯️ Candles & Open Flames
Keep candles at least a foot away from curtains, bedding, or books.
Always extinguish candles before leaving a room or going to sleep.
Consider flameless LED alternatives for safer ambiance.
🛏️ Fabrics & Upholstery
Be cautious with space heaters near curtains, sofas, or bedding—keep at least 3 feet (1 meter) clearance.
Choose flame-resistant materials when possible.
🔥 Heating Devices
Turn off portable heaters when unattended.
Don’t use ovens or stoves as heating sources.
Have heating systems inspected regularly.
đź§Ż Fire Detection & Response
Install smoke alarms in key areas (kitchen, bedrooms, hallways) and test them monthly.
Keep a fire extinguisher accessible—learn how to use it (PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
Plan and practice a home fire escape route with everyone in the household.
đź§ş Storage & Clutter
Avoid storing flammable liquids (like cleaning products or alcohol) near heat sources.
Keep clutter to a minimum, especially near exits and electrical equipment.
