This week, Kent Fire & Rescue attended Mulberry Court, a block of Canterbury retirement apartments in Canterbury, to help educate the residents on how to stay safe in the kitchen with their cooking safety advice.

Cooking Safety Advice Could Reduce The Number Of Accidental House Fires

Most people think they have things under control in the kitchen and, granted, most people know not to put a metallic bowl in the microwave, but there are smaller risks that are often overlooked.

Believe it or not, seven thousand people are injured in kitchen fires each year. Not including those who are killed.

Did you know that almost 67% of all accidental house fires start in the kitchen because someone isn’t following basic cooking safety advice?

Smoke Alarm Systems Save Lives!

Most people don’t know that you should check your smoke detector every week to ensure that it is still working correctly and won’t fail you when you need it most.

Another thing people don’t often realise is that you should have a smoke detector on each storey of your house.

It could be the difference living or dying. Don’t neglect fire safety.
