OLDER ADULT FIRE SAFETY - COOKING

Did you know the third leading cause of fire death for older adults is cooking? Hi, I’m Rob Neale from the United States Fire Administration with important fire safety tips for seniors.

Never leave cooking unattended because a serious fire can start in seconds. Don’t wear loose clothing while cooking. Keep towels and pot holders away from the range. Double-check the kitchen before you go to bed or leave your home.
