A house fire is one of the most terrifying events that any homeowner can envision. It can cause catastrophic injuries or even death. In a house fire, the smoke they emit is the primary cause of mortality and property loss. In addition, many house fires may not destroy the building, but they cause smoke and water damage. The water used to combat flames is absorbed by the structure, weakening it and putting it at risk of collapse shortly. Not to mention, house fires are usually traumatic for homeowners, so a house fire is definitely something to avoid. Now, do you do that? The best way to do that is by targeting the leading and most common cause of house fires: activities in the kitchen. <\/strong>Believe it or not, recent studies and statistics show that approximately 45 percent of all house fires start in the kitchen. Therefore kitchen fires are the primary focus of the day. So, with that said, here are a couple of ways we can prepare you for kitchen fires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Smoke detectors are always a recommended device in your house. Install a smoke detector near the kitchen, but not in it. You don’t want the least amount of smoke or steam produced by cooking to set off the alarm constantly, but you want it to detect an accurate kitchen fire. This way, any potential fire allows you to act quickly to ensure the safety of your home and family. Please remember that smoke alarms can only save lives if they are well-maintained and functional. If a smoke detector doesn’t function properly, then it is basically useless. A smoke detector has only one purpose. This is to alert you to a potential problem. Do not ignore them or believe they went off by accident until the cause is evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Simply, the most excellent approach to avoid kitchen fires is to never leave food alone in the kitchen. In the province, unattended cooking is the top cause of house fires and accidents. We understand that sometimes it can be almost impossible to avoid getting distracted, whether handling kids or pets, answering an important phone call, or simply zoning out. But always try your best to turn off all electrical appliances when cooking and give your maximum cooking attention. Heating food on the burner should never be left unattended, and have someone closely monitor food cooking in the oven. You can also set up a timer to help you pay attention to the food.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUSING PROPERLY FUNCTIONING SMOKE DETECTORS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
