The Leading Cause of House Fires

It is probably no surprise that the leading cause of house fires is cooking. Everyone has to cook food to live at some point, so here a few common mistakes to avoid so that you do not have a house fire. 

1. Keep towels and potholders away from the stove. It is always good to make sure to keep them away at least two hours after cooking. 

2. Avoid using oils and greases that can pop or crackle when they are hot. This can burn you or anyone else in a close distance in the kitchen. 

3. NEVER leave a stove unattended. It may seem like everything is okay for the moment, but cooking can be unreliable and something can happen in a second. 

Keep your family safe, and you can think of these tips next time you step up to the stove.
