Fire Prevention Week focuses on kitchen fire dangers
Roblin Shell River Fire and Rescue partners with NFPA for Fire Prevention Week October 6 to 12 urging residents to prevent kitchen fires. Cooking is the leading cause of home fires with two of every five fires starting in kitchens, often from unattended cooking. Tips include staying in the kitchen while frying or cooking, using back burners, keeping flammables away, and testing smoke alarms monthly after clock changes.
