Recipe for Safety

Cooking Safety Tips:

• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you have to leave the room for even a second, turn your stove or cooking device off.
• When you are simmering, baking, or roasting, check the food regularly or use a timer to remind you.
• Keep cooking areas clean and clear of combustibles such as potholders, paper towels, food packaging, etc...
• Keep children away from cooking areas by enforcing a "kid-free zone" of at least three feet around the stove.
• If an oven fire starts, turn off the oven and keep the door closed. If the fire does not go out, get out of the house and the fire department.

Please remember that education in prevention is the best way to keep you and your family safe. In the event there is a fire, call your local fire department and then call SERVPRO of Lockport/Lemont/Homer Glen at 708-301-4200 to help you with all your fire restoration needs.
