What are the Causes of Food Fires?
While there are a multitude of reasons why food fires begin in the first place, some common causes include:
-
Leaving food unattended: One of the most common causes of food fires stems from leaving food unattended. When food is left ignored, it can easily overheat and catch fire.
-
Overcrowding the stove: When there is too much food cooking on the stove, it can create a fire hazard.
-
Using too much oil or grease: Grease and oil can easily catch fire when they are heated to high temperatures.
-
Storing flammable materials near a stove: Flammable materials, such as cleaning supplies, should never be stored near the stove.
-
Not cleaning up spills: Spilled oil or grease can also catch fire if it is not cleaned up promptly.
