Fire safety essentials

Ever seen a fryer left on or a tangled mess of cords in a busy kitchen and thought, 'Is this safe?' That moment of hesitation could mean the difference between safety and disaster.

Too often, fire safety is something we take for granted-until it's too late. But fire emergencies don't come with warnings. One wrong move and a small incident can escalate fast.
