Seniors - Fire Safety for your Grandkids

Watch your Handles

  • When working in the kitchen, make sure your handles don't hang over the edge of the stove—especially if you have young children.

    Even when home alone, pot handles hanging over the stove's edge can be bumped, leading to spills and burns.

    For an exploring kid, a pot handle sticking out over the edge of the stove can be an invitation to disaster.

  • This applies to more than just stoves; even non-flammable objects should be kept from edges, to ensure that they aren't knocked or pulled onto a curious child.
