Another quick reminder to be alert and aware in the kitchen! It is very important to keep a lid nearby to help in the case of a grease fire. Be like Bill! *** Un autre rappel d’être alerte et faire attention dans la cuisine près de votre station de cuisson afin d’éviter des feux de graisse. Soyez comme Bill!

The Sarnia Fire Rescue Services did a demonstration of why water should not be thrown on a grease fire, have a look! Like mentioned, always keep a lid close while cooking, turn off the heat and let everything cool down.

Time for tip #5! We all get distracted, using a timer while cooking will remind you to check up on your food every few minutes in order to prevent any fires. *** Il est temps pour notre cinquième conseil! Il nous arrive tous d’être distrait, l’utilisation d’une minuterie quand nous cuisinons nous rappelles que nous devons vérifier notre nourriture de temps en temps afin de prévenir des incendies.
