The number one source of Home Fires? Your Kitchen. Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires and injuries in North Carolina. Not faulty wiring. Not old smoke alarms. Your stove!

Here's the scary part: Most cooking fires happen in seconds. And most are preventable.

✅ Never leave cooking unattended: Not even to check on something else. If you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove.
✅ Keep flammable items away: Towels, curtains, paper, packaging. All belong far from the stove.
✅ Turn pot handles inward: Keep them from being bumped or grabbed by children.
✅ If a grease fire starts, DON'T use water: Use a fire extinguisher or cover the pan with a metal lid to smother it.

For renters and apartment residents: Discuss fire safety with your landlord. Know the locations of extinguishers and familiarize yourself with escape routes. Your kitchen is the heart of your home, so keep it safe! 🔥

Share this with someone who loves to cook, or someone just learning. Remind them: Never leave a kitchen unattended!

Nearly 200 fire service members from across North Carolina came together today for NC Fire Service Legislative Day to ensure the voice of the fire service was heard loud and clear at the General Assembly.

Hosted by the NC State Firefighters’ Association and the NC Association of Fire Chiefs, the day provided an important opportunity for firefighters and fire officers to meet directly with legislators and discuss the key issues impacting the North Carolina fire service.

A special thank you to Senator Warren Daniel, Representative Neal Jackson, Representative Paul Scott, and Senator Tim Moffitt for taking the time to speak with the group before they headed to the Legislative Building to meet with their representatives.

We also extend our appreciation to Atlantic Emergency Solutions for sponsoring lunch and supporting the fire service professionals who serve communities across our state every day.

Lastly, thank you to Mike Legeros for taking time out of his day to capture photos and help document this important event for the North Carolina fire service community.
