FIRE SAFETY: Kitchen
is source of many
house fires
Continued from page 3
residential structure fires
over the past five years, caus-
ing an average of 19 percent
of Oregon9s total residential
structure fires and six deaths.
Cooking fire safety tips
include:
" Keep an eye on what
you9re cooking; don9t leave
cooking unattended.
" Keep your cooking areas
clean and clear of combus-
tibles (potholders, food pack-
aging, towels, etc.), and wipe
up surface spills.
" Create three-foot kid-
and-pet-free zone around
stove.
" Older children should
only cook with permission
and under the supervision of
an adult.
" Have a lid or cookie sheet
within reach while cooking
(to smother flames) in case of
a fire.
If a cooking fire does start:
" Put a lid on it! Slide a lid
over the pan (from the side)
and then turn off the burner.
" Don9t move the pan until
the fire is completely extin-
guished and cooled, and don9t
try to transfer the pan to the
sink.
If you cannot quickly
extinguish the fire:
" Get yourself and your
family safely out of the house.
" If you can, close doors as
you are escaping, to help con-
tain the fire.
" Call 911 from a safe
place (outside).
<This year has been a chal-
lenging one for Oregonians,=
said State Fire Marshal
Mariana Ruiz-Temple. <As
we continue to face the chal-
lenges of COVID-19 and now
the impacts of the Oregon fire
season, it demonstrates the
resilient spirit of Oregonians.
Fire Prevention Month is a
good reminder, as we con-
tinue to be in our homes and
closed settings, to bring fire
safe practices into the home,
which will continue to keep
you and your families safe
from the dangers of fire.=
