According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home
fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Almost half
(44%) of reported home fires started in the kitchen. Two-
thirds (66%) of home cooking fires start with the ignition of
food or other cooking materials.
“We know cooking fires can be prevented,” said Lorraine
Carli, NFPA’s vice-president of outreach and advocacy.
“Staying in the kitchen, using a timer, and avoiding distrac-
tions such as electronics or TV are steps everyone can
take to keep families safe in their homes.”
Here are some safety tips to keep you from having a cook-
