As the national campaign is promoted throughout the month of October, this year's theme is "Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention. Did you know? Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires and deaths. What can you do? The good news is you can prevent most cooking fires and burns. Help keep your family safer with these simple but effective tips. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove. Always keep a lid nearby when cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Watch what you heat. Set a timer to remind you that you are cooking. Have a "kid- and pet-free zone" of at least three feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. For more information, visit https://fire.honolulu.gov/.
