Cooking
Before cooking:
- Avoid wearing clothing which is bulky, frilly or has long loose sleeves, e.g., bathrobe
Immediate actions:
If there’s a fire on your stove and it’s out of control:
- Escape the structure
- Call for help, e.g., dial 911
If the fire is not out of control and is contained to the stove top:
- Don’t put water on the fire • will probably spread the fire
- Turn off the burner(s)
- Place a lid on the pot containing the fire
- Get a fire extinguisher
- Stand approx. 6 feet from the fire • if you’re too close, you could spread the fire
- Spray the fire extinguisher at the base of the fire (unless otherwise directed by instructions on the fire extinguisher)
