The holidays bring joy, togetherness — and lots of cooking. But remember: unattended cooking is the leading cause of home fires in Ontario. To prevent cooking fires: Be alert – do not cook if you are sleepy, have consumed alcohol, drugs or medicine that makes you drowsy. Always stay in the kitchen while cooking and turn off the stove if you must leave. Keep anything that burns a safe distance from the stove, including oven mitts, cooking utensils, dishcloths, paper towels or potholders. Keep a proper-fitting pot lid near the stove when cooking so you can slide the lid over the pot and turn off the stove if the pot catches fire. Do not move the pot until it has cooled completely. Wear short or tight sleeves or roll sleeves up when cooking, to avoid loose-fitting clothes from catching fire on stove burners. Keep Fire Safety on the Menu This Holiday Season
