MES for children

The kitchen is not without reason considered the most dangerous room in any house or apartment. This room uses the largest number of electrical appliances, various poisonous substances and materials (detergents and cleaning agents, vinegar, etc.) are used in it, and a gas stove is installed here, which can cause a fire or explosion. For the kitchen to be safe, it is necessary to remember and follow safety rules. Let's try to figure out what they are.

Often, food left unattended on the stove becomes the cause of fires. Also, a towel, curtains can catch fire from the burner, or fat or oil in a frying pan can ignite.

As mentioned earlier, electrical appliances and electrical wiring can also often cause fires.

If oil catches fire in a frying pan:

- never extinguish the fire with water or any other liquid;

- turn off the burner and cover the frying pan with a lid or a damp towel. Be careful and protect your hands from the fire with a pot holder or a rough cloth;

- leave the lid on until the oil cools down, otherwise the hot oil may flare up again;

- if burning oil or fat gets on the floor or walls, use improvised non-combustible materials to deal with the sources of ignition: soil from flower pots, cereal, washing powder, etc.

If you cannot cope with the fire, call the rescuers at 101 or 112
