TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,

following. (Based on “Kitchen Firesafety Tips,”
published by NFPA.)

1. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close fitted lid, cookie
sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do
not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

2. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be
burned.

3. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or
towels a violent steam explosion will result.

• You know it is a Class ABC extinguisher, and you

already know how to operate it.

• The fire is small and contained in the area where

it started.

• The fire department is being called.

• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
