kitchen fire extinguishers
When it comes to kitchen safety it is always important to have a kitchen fire extinguisher within reach. Kitchen fire extinguishers must be properly installed or able to locate within reach in all commercial kitchens, daycare kitchens, restaurant kitchens or any other type of kitchen besides a home kitchen but it is wise to have one within reach to prevent a fire from occurring and getting out of hand quickly.
Almost all home fires occur either in the kitchen or with a wood burning fireplace in the winter time. Most people think that house fires occur and get started with electrical and while that is a leading cause, kitchen fires rate higher.
When you are cooking it is easy to be in a hurry or rush and let the stove get too hot and then either grease pop out or you end up laying a rag too close and it catches on fire. More house fires occur in the kitchen because people panic and don’t know how to handle them if they do occur or they don’t have a kitchen fire extinguisher handy or close by. Kitchen fire extinguishers can be purchased in a wide variety of sizes and styles from ones that go underneath the kitchen sink, side of the refrigerator, side of the cabinet or just to hang and have close by.
