Creating a warm and inviting ambiance in your home? Battery-operated flameless candles are a great option. Not only do they look, smell, and feel like real candles, but they're also safer to use. ✨🕯️

If a fire does start in your kitchen use a lid or an extinguisher. Cooking with grease/oil should be done very carefully. Stay in the kitchen while cooking.

[Laura King @LauraKingNFPA]

In a release recognizing #FirePreventionWeek, StatsCan says 1/3 of fires from 2015 to 2021 were cooking related and confirms cooking is the leading cause of fire and injuries.

Keep the area around your cooking space clear of things that can burn. The stove top is not a storage space.
