Prioritizing Fire Safety During Fire Prevention Week
As the crisp embrace of autumn envelops us and the aromas of comforting cuisines fill our kitchens, the joy of cooking is rekindled. Yet, in this gastronomic delight, let us not overlook our paramount duty toward fire safety. From October 8 to 14, the Calgary Fire Department (CFD) takes pride in observing Fire Prevention Week, spotlighting the theme, “Cooking safety starts with you. Pay attention to fire prevention.”
A glaring reality is that cooking-related incidents take the lead in indoor fires and injuries within Calgary. The CFD ardently advocates for everyone to make safety a focal point in the kitchen. Essential precautions include never leaving cooking unattended—employ timers as reminders, and when leaving the kitchen, ensure burners are off.
Furthermore, swivel pot handles away from the stove’s edge and keep a lid and oven mitt in proximity to swiftly stifle minor grease fires. A designated one-meter “kid- and pet-free zone” encompassing cooking spaces, toys excluded, aids in preventing mishaps. Additional tips encompass keeping flammable objects distant from the stovetop, educating children about hot surfaces, grilling outdoors with ample space, and cautious use of microwave ovens.
Incorporate these guidelines to safeguard your abode and loved ones. Together, we can maintain our kitchens as sanctuaries of delight and solace, free from the specter of flames. For detailed information, visit calgary.ca/firepreventionweek or dial 3-1-1.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards,
Sean Chu
