Keeping a fire extinguisher handy is a must in kitchens that have a gas stove. It is a widely believed myth that water should be used to put out fires. However, in case of a fire hazard in your kitchen, water is not the best way to put out the fire. You should only use a fire extinguisher should the need ever arise.
It is crucial to keep a fire extinguisher and ensure you know how to use it. Fire extinguishers need to be mounted to the wall so that they are secure, visible, and readily accessible. It is also important to mount them in such a way that they cannot be easily moved or damaged
FIRE SAFETY IN THE KITCHEN:
🧯Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and fire-related injuries in the home.
🧯Whether you're preparing a meal or making a quick snack, practicing safe cooking in the kitchen can help keep members of your household safe.
🧯Kitchen fires often involve grease and oil, which can’t be extinguished using water. That makes multi-purpose fire extinguishers a crucial part of any home safety plan. They’re A-B-C rated, which means they can handle fires involving normal combustibles (paper, cloth, and wood) along with flammable liquids (like alcohol and gas) and energized electrical equipment.
🧯It’s best to learn how to prevent kitchen fires, but having an extinguisher on hand is an easy way to protect your home in case something goes wrong.
🧯Most kitchen fires happen near the stove or range top, so you’ll want the extinguisher to be close enough to grab at a moment's notice. You don’t want to store it too close, but you also don’t want to walk through flames or smoke to get it. Experts recommend mounting it on the wall inside the kitchen, keeping it about 30 feet from the oven. FIRE Extinct has the perfect solution for you!
