Cooking Safety Tips for Hollywood Families?

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Broward County.

October is Residential Fire Awareness Month, and this year’s theme is cooking safety. Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires in the United States, and according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), cooking was the leading cause of home fires from 2015 to 2019.

Our local Pembroke Pines and West Miramar teams are on call and ready to respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Hollywood, and we typically arrive onsite within four hours of your call. Here are some cooking safety tips from the NFPA:

• Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop.
• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.
• If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
• Keep anything that can catch fire (oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels, or curtains) away from your stovetop.
