“Look while you cook”, stay in the kitchen when you cook. Keep a proper fitting pot lid near the stove when cooking, if a pot catches fire, slide the lid carefully over the pot and turn the stove off. Do not move the pot. Wear tight fitting, short or rolled up sleeves when using the stove to prevent clothes from coming in contact with burners. Keep combustibles well away from the stove. Keep children well away from the stove, and make sure there are no cords or towels dangling near the stove that could be pulled by children. Treat a burn by running cool water over the wound for 3 to 5 minutes. If the burn is severe, seek medical attention. Always, have working smoke alarms and a practiced home escape plan!
