Kitchen fires know no season.  Cooking is the leading cause of house fires. Grease spills, items left unattended on the stove or in the oven and food left in toasters or toaster ovens can catch fire quickly.  Don’t wear loose fitting clothing, especially long sleeves, around the stove. Turn the handles of pots and pans away from the front of the stove to prevent accidental contact. Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher within easy reach. Extinguishers specifically formulated for grease and cooking fuel fires are widely available and can supplement an all-purpose extinguisher.
