The One Kitchen Appliance You Must Unplug Before Bed to Prevent a Fire


 


  1. Unplug after use – Especially toasters, air fryers, and coffee makers.

  2. Clean regularly – Crumbs and grease buildup are fire starters.

  3. Check cords – Frayed wires? Replace immediately.

  4. Avoid power strips – High-wattage appliances can overload circuits.

  5. 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.
