children's section fire in the kitchen

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. To make the kitchen 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:

- in no case should you extinguish the fire with water or any other liquid;

- turn off the burner and cover the pan with a lid or a damp towel. Be careful and protect your hands from the fire with an oven mitt or a coarse cloth;

- leave the lid on until the oil cools down, otherwise the hot oil may reignite;

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

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