Every October, we celebrate Fire Prevention Safety Month. In fact, there will be a Fire Safety Day at Lowes next Saturday, October 9, 2021, from 10 a.m.–4 p.m. There will be fire trucks on hand, informational booths, fun, and games. In order to help provide information on fire safety, the Granville County office is focusing on cooking fires. Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries. The leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. You should always stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food. If you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, remain inside the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking. If you experience a small grease fire on the stovetop, you can smother the flames by sliding a lid over the pan and turning off the burner. Leave the pan covered until it is completed cooled. If you lose power while in the middle of cooking, remember to turn off the stove or oven because it will come back on whenever your power is restored and could cause a fire. But when in doubt, just get out and call 9-1-1.
