Smoke alarm - buy a smoke alarm
fitted with a ‘hush button’ which can
silence the alarm instantly should it
activate accidentally & does not
necessitate the removal of the battery
(except to change for a new one).
Fire Blanket - consider having a
fire blanket in your kitchen, mounted
on the wall where you can get to it
easily & quickly.
Deep-fat Frying - never fill a chip
pan (or other deep-fat fryer) more
than one-third full of oil. If you do
have a chip pan fire:
1) call emergency services
2) never move the pan
3) turn off the heat but only if it is
safe do so
4) never use water on a chip pan
fire as this will create a fireball.
Kitchen Fire - if you have a fire in
the kitchen, do not take risks - get
everybody out of the house & call
Emergency services. If a pan catches fire:
1) do not move it - it is likely to be
very hot
2) turn off the heat but only if safe to
do so & never lean over a pan to
reach the controls
3) if you have a fire blanket, put it
over the pan
4) do not use a fire extinguisher on a
pan of oil - the force of the extin-
guisher can spread the fire
5) if you have managed to extin-
guish the fire, allow the pan to cool
completely.
Electrical Fire - if you have an elec-
trical fire in the kitchen:
1) pull the plug out or switch off the
power at the fuse box - this may be
enough to extinguish the fire immedi-
ately
2) smother the fire with a fire blanket
or use a dry powder or carbon diox-
ide extinguisher
3) remember: never use water on an
electrical fire.
