Cooking fires are the leading cause of home fires.
Stay safe in the kitchen:
• Never leave cooking unattended
• Keep flammable items away from stovetops
• Keep a lid nearby to smother flames
If a grease fire starts—don’t use water. Cover it and turn off the heat.
There are still icebergs here in Newfoundland!!
I photographed this one on our Sunday morning trip to King’s Point, NL.
We then had a lovely cooked dinner at a local restaurant called, By the Sea Inn & Cafe.

You have more control over your home's wildfire risk than you might think.
The Home Ignition Zone is the 30-metre area around your home, and it's where you have the most control. Focus closest to your house first:
→ 0 to 1.5m: Non-combustible zone. Gravel or stone, no mulch, no debris.
→ 1.5 to 10m: Remove dry underbrush, move sheds and firewood, space out combustibles.
→ 10 to 30m: Thin and prune trees, remove dead material, reduce fuel.
You don't have to do it all at once. Just start close and work outward.
