In the kitchen…Monitor cooking very closely; keep combustible materials such as dish towels, paper plates and paper towels at least three feet from stove- top burners; when cooking, use oven mitts, roll up sleeves and avoid loose-fitting clothing; never store poisons with or near food items; and don’t use a fire extinguisher on open pan fires because its force can spread the burning grease.
