Kitchen takes an important role in every house. We spend many valuable hours cooking in kitchens and during that time we are prone to dangerous accidents as we are exposed to inflammable materials and other hazardous situations. In order to insure your safety it is important to be aware of the causes of fire. Installation of fire suppression systems are a good solution if you want to be quiet and insure the safety of your family and home..

The reasons for fire in the kitchen: The main reason for fire in the kitchen, as strange as it may sound, is dropping inflammable material to the gas. Inflammable material can be a liquid you're using inappropriately or even your dress or clothes. Also, malfunctioning of electronic devices such as microwave can lead to a serious fire. Another prevalent reason is gas leaking due to lack of maintenance.

How to prevent kitchen fire : You need to follow some safety tips to prevent serious disaster at your favorite place in the house.

a)Having a cooking dress or apron is not a bad idea which is white in color and tight fitting. White being the best reflector of heat is lesser prone to catching fire and the tight fit ensures your dress doesn't catch fire by accident while a flowing or synthetic dress is exposed to higher risk. The white look projects an image of hygiene too.

b) Always advisable to be present in your kitchen while cooking. There are some preparations or boiling or baking which takes time and don't need active involvement of the cook thus we often leave the kitchen in between to catch up with favorite TV serials or chat with friends. It is not wise to assume that everything is ok in the kitchen in your absence. Try to be present till the cooking is over.

3.Maintenance is another subject you need to consider. Electronic devices need to be checked periodically for proper safety in the kitchen. Going over the manuals of each device to insure a proper use is mandatory. also, having g gas technician to check that there is no leaking of gas is also an important measure to prevent fire.

d) Kitchen utensils and appliances should be selected as per your convenience. It's not wise to go for fashionable products, if you are not comfortable in handling them. Just remember safety is your first priority.

e) Installing Smoke detectors or Fire Extinguishing System can be helpful to ensure proper kitchen security.Kitchen fire suppression is related to your home safety so never compromise in this aspect.
