ORDER A CEASE ON GREASE FIRES

The NYC Fire Department says that cooking is the leading cause of house fires and fire injuries. Whether you are an amateur cook or a chef extraordinaire, be aware that water will only inflame grease fires. Water causes splashing, which spreads the fire. OEM reminds New Yorkers to turn off the stove and use a pot lid to smother a grease fire. Baking soda will also extinguish a grease fire.
