Guarding Your Kitchen Against Fires
Four percent of all damaging home fires start in the kitchen and come from burning fat in the fryer or griddle. Use an approved Class B fire extinguisher or, if unavailable, baking soda kept handy to smother flames without harming food. Do not use water or salt and always apply baking soda carefully to starve the fire of air.
