Common Causes of Kitchen Fires
Cooking mishaps are usually the cause of kitchen fires, and here are some of the common ways we have seen kitchen fires start:
- Flammable items placed too close to the stove: Dishrags, potholders, paper towels, and more can easily catch on fire if they are too close to a hot burner.
- Frying food improperly with oil: If you choose to fry with oil in your kitchen, try using a deep fryer instead of a pan. If you do opt for the pan, only use enough oil to just cover the bottom. Make sure to also clean off any spatters on the oven as those can cause problems in the future.
- Leaving cooking unattended: You should never walk away from a hot burner or an open flame, as anything can happen while you're gone.
- Using older appliances: An older stove can be faulty, which can end up spelling disaster. One stray spark or a gas leak can cause the whole home to go up in flames.
The best way to prevent kitchen fires is to be proactive and never leave while there is an open flame or lit burner.
