Cooking Fire Prevention

By Captain Brian Owen
October 14, 2023

This year Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 8-14. The theme is;
“Cooking safety starts with you. Pay attention to fire prevention!”

Cooking is, by far, the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries.
In 2021, fire departments in the United States responded to an estimated 170,000 home cooking fires. These fires caused an estimated 135 deaths, 3,000 injuries and over $494 million in property loss.
Here is a short video on cooking safety.
