 Prevent kitchen fires

The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially during the holiday season, which is why it’s important to know what you can do to prevent a fire. The Home Depot offers simple safety tips for entertaining:

►  Clean your oven, toaster oven, stovetop, and other appliances, removing crumbs or leftover grease.

►    Keep a kitchen fire extinguisher behind you while cooking so you don’t have to reach over flames if you need it.
