Fire Safety

1. Do not move a pan that is on fire

   • Don't try to put a wet towel on a grease fire
     • Try to put out a grease fire within 30 sec to a minute
   • If able to call 911 right when the fire starts so you are able to get it under control

2. When there is a fire in your pot or pan first turn off the heat and then put a lid or a cookie sheet over the top to stop the fire.

   • One of the best things to use when you have a kitchen fire is a dry chemical fire extinguisher
     • Always aim fire extinguisher at the base of the fire

3. NEVER put water on a pan that is on fire cause it will just cause it to ignite again

   • Make sure that if you use a fire extinguisher that it is not water based
     • Never leave a pan of grease unattended
