Cooking related fires are the
No. 1 cause of home fires in
Canada, resulting in many
deaths and hundreds of injuries
each year. Don't leave cooking
appliances unattended when in
use and be very cautious when
cooking with oil. All cooking fires
are preventable, so remember
to select the proper heat for the
food being prepared and keep
your stove top clean and clear at
all times.
A message from the Fire Marshal's Public
Fire Safety Council and your fire department.
