Keep your Kitchen Safe:
- Keep your stove clean and don’t leave the room while cooking.
- Turn pot handles inward so you do not bump into them, and children cannot reach them.
- Open a window to clear cooking smells. Do not open your apartment door. It will let smoke into the hall and set off the building’s fire alarm system.
- Do not open a window or prop open a door if there is a fire. If you cannot put out the fire quickly, leave your home immediately, pull the nearest fire alarm, and call 911.
- If your smoke alarm goes off while you are cooking, push the “hush” button. This will quiet the alarm while the smoke clears.
- Never disconnect a smoke alarm
Be Careful with Flammable Materials:
- Keep lighters and matches in a safe place.
- Do not leave candles burning when you leave the room.
- Do not throw flammable materials like paint, ammonia, or oil down the garbage chute.
