Fires in the home are the third leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Fires can start in ovens. They can also be caused by an old electrical cord or a dried-out Christmas tree. Also, children playing with matches can start fires. Ovens should be fairly clean and free of food and grease. If a fire starts in a frying pan, cover the pan and take it off the burner. Baking soda will help put the fire out. Whatever you do, never put water on a grease fire. Water can cause the fire to spread.
