4. Sources of Fires Open Flames and Heat What things can start a fire besides the stove? Grease Never walk away from heating grease on a stove! Electrical Wiring Overloaded outlets Unsafe Storage areas Example: Paper near the stove

5. In Our Kitchens… Always double check to make sure that the stoves are turned off before you leave class! Check to make sure gas is not leaking. Clicking sound or gas smell = NOT good. Never walk away from the stove.

6. Fire Control Fire Extinguishers Smoke Detectors Automatic Hood and Sprinkler Systems

7. If a fire starts in our kitchens…. Call me over for help…ASAP! Identify the heat source. Turn off the heat source. Use salt to put out small fires. Cover up a grease fire with a lid. (smother) Use a fire extinguisher for larger fires or grease fires.
