STOP STOVETOP FIRES

 

It's Fire Prevention Week and OEM reminds New Yorkers to brush up on fire safety techniques, especially in the kitchen. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, 40 percent of home fires start in the kitchen.

Never leave a lit stove unattended and make sure you have a smoke detector in the kitchen. When cooking, clear stovetops and nearby counters to prevent rapid spread of fire.
