\"\"TYLER — The Tyler Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to promote this year\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Fire Prevention Week campaign, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d According to a news release, the campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe. According to NFPA, cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. Almost half (44%) of reported homes fires started in the kitchen. Two-thirds (66%) of home cooking fires start with the ignition of food or other cooking materials. <\/p>\n

The Tyler Fire Department encourages all residents to embrace the 2020 Fire Prevention Week theme. They want to share the following safety tips to help you prevent a cooking fire:<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00b7 Never leave cooking food unattended. Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling. If you have to leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00b7 If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re cooking.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00b7 You have to be alert when cooking. You won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be alert if you are sleepy, have taken medicine or drugs, or consumed alcohol that makes you drowsy.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00b7 Always keep an oven mitt and pan lid nearby when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re cooking. If a small grease fire starts, slide the lid over the pan to smother the flame. Turn off the burner, and leave the pan covered until it is completely cool.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00b7 Have a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153kid-free zone\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried.<\/p>\n
