A kitchen fire can flare at a moment’s notice — as soon as you turn your back on your broiling or baking dinner.

The fireSafety.gov website offers these suggestions for preventing a cooking fire:

Today’s Health Tips

* Never leave your kitchen while food is cooking. Always keep a watchful eye.

* Don’t cook while wearing loose clothing. Choose

short or tight sleeves to keep them from an open flame.

* Don’t allow young children around the stove or oven.

* Keep your kitchen and stove clean and free of build-up that can ignite.

* Keep flammable items such as towels, potholders and curtains from an open flame or heat.

* Turn the handles of your pan to the inside to prevent accidentally knocking a handle and causing a spill.
