#FireSafety #KitchenSafety #HomeSafety #FirePrevention #SeniorSafety #SafetyTips #GreaseFire This video covers the twenty most common kitchen mistakes that cause house fires, and the simple fifteen-dollar fix that can end a grease fire in seconds. Cooking is the number one cause of home fires in America, and these checks are especially important for seniors and anyone who lives alone. We go step by step through the stove, the toaster, the microwave, cords and power strips, the habits that start fires, and, most important of all, the five mistakes people make after a fire has already started. You will learn why water must never touch a grease fire, why the pan never moves, and exactly what to look for on a fire blanket label before you buy one. Everything here can be checked in one evening, at your own pace, with nothing to climb and almost nothing to buy.
