Unplug after use – Especially toasters, air fryers, and coffee makers.
Clean regularly – Crumbs and grease buildup are fire starters.
Check cords – Frayed wires? Replace immediately.
Avoid power strips – High-wattage appliances can overload circuits.
Install smoke alarms – Test monthly, replace batteries yearly.
🧯 What to Do If a Fire Starts
Small grease fire? Smother with a lid or baking soda—never water!
Electrical fire? Cut power at the breaker, then use a Class C fire extinguisher.
Evacuate first – Call 911 if flames spread.
