Up in Smoke
Two fire engines raced over to an address in Victory Road after a kitchen went up in smoke recently in Blackpool. A chip pan had been left on the stove and the oil had eventually set light. Thankfully there were no casualties. Surveys say that a staggering 50% of fires start with kitchen appliances. This can be due to negligence. People are distracted more than ever with mobiles, internet, and TV. Of course at this time of year, with the cold weather, people stay indoors so houses are often full of families that need looking after, so the pot in the kitchen can quickly be forgotten. Another culprit is the appliances themselves. People spend more time cooking in the winter months than any other time and gas stoves, open fires and other cooking appliances can all be on the go at the same time.
