Tips to Prevent Kitchen Fire in Rowan

1/18/2021 (Permalink)

(SERVPRO of Franchise) When soot, smoke, or fire damage take their tool on your home, we are Here To Help.

SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury understands that cooking equipment is a leading cause of fire damage and fire injuries in your Rowan home.

To help prevent fire damage, SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury shares these tips. They make more sense than not cooking at home.

  • Many kitchen items can catch fire, including dish towels, oven mitts, recipes, wooden tools, and loose clothing
  • Never operate the stove or oven when you are tired or have been drinking alcohol
  • If you are frying, broiling, grilling, or boiling food, stay in the kitchen. If you leave, even for a short time, turn off the heat
  • Keep flammable items at least three feet from the stovetop
  • Do not allow children within two to four feet of the stove or oven
  • If you must leave the house while cooking of any kind, turn off the heat sources

Remember that fire is fast. If you cannot contain a fire immediately, leave and bring everyone with you. Call 9-1-1 from outside your Rowan home.



SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury reminds you that fire prevention is the best strategy against fire damage. 

SERVPRO of North Rowan County / Salisbury is independently owned and operated.
