Cooking is a daily activity in every household, but it’s also the leading cause of home fires and fire-related injuries in the U.S. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), cooking fires result in thousands of residential incidents each year, many of which are preventable with simple precautions.
To help housing agencies keep their communities safe, we’ve created a short, free cooking fire safety video to share with residents. In just a few minutes, HAI Group’s Risk Control and Consulting team demonstrates practical tips residents can follow to reduce the risk of a kitchen fire and what to do if one does break out.
