INFLAMMABLE LIQUIDS-Kerosene, paint, gasoline, naphtha and some cleaning fluids give off highly inflammable vapours; they should be used with caution and carefully stored. Keep a carbon dioxide, foam .or dry chemical fire extinguisher near their storage area. Oily rags left in cup boards or corners can burst into flames spontaneously. Dispose of them immediately after use. COOKING-FAT FIRES IN THE KITCHEN—You can reduce the danger of grease fires by keeping your stove clean. Don’t let spattered fats build up. Don't leave hot frying-pans unattended. A grease fire can be extinguished with baking soda dr smothered with a lid. Keep both handy whenever you’re frying. PROTECT YOUR FAMILY BY TAKING PRECAUTIONS!
