Kitchen Fires in Little Rock, Conway and Benton, AR
Your kitchen is used for cooking and eating, so you are probably aware that stovetops and other appliances are used for cooking and preparing meals. Although you may have enough experience in the kitchen, it is still possible that a fire can start even without you knowing it.
Fires are known to be destructive events capable of eating through any space, and if one occurs in your kitchen, you can either put it out or call the fire department for help. There are a lot of reasons why fires can start in your kitchen, but the most common causes often include:
- The fryer’s temperature is set too high
- Flammable oils not kept/cleaned properly
- Frying pans that are left under the fire (causing grease fires)
- Leaving stoves on (causing stove fires)
- Flue and ventilation ducts are filled with fat deposits
- Fire alarm detectors/sprinklers are no longer functioning
How to Prevent Kitchen Fires
Before leaving the kitchen, it is always best to double check your surroundings. In order to prevent kitchen fires, be sure to switch off kitchen appliances and properly store flammable chemicals in the right place. It is also wise to fortify your kitchen with the proper safety equipment (e.g. fire extinguishers) and have your current fire alarm systems maintained.
