Do you know that ranges or cook-tops account for three out of five reported home fires involving cooking equipment? SERVPRO® of Mount Clemens, New Baltimore, responds to many fire damage emergencies each year. Here are some cooking safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

What you should know about home cooking safety

• If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol, don’t use the stove or stovetop
• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, boiling, or broiling food
• If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, remain in the kitchen while food is cooking, and use a timer
• Keep anything that can catch fire away from your stovetop

If you have a cooking fire

• Just get out! When you leave, close the door behind you to help contain the fire.
• Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number after you leave
• If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are getting out, and you have a clear way out
• Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turning off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed
