Local firefighters encourage residents to “Serve up Fire Safety in the Kitchen”
The Clearwater Regional Fire Rescue Services have begun this year’s Fire Prevention Week from October 4-10 with the theme being to “Serve up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.”
CRFRS released a video on Facebook giving a tour of their headquarters and an introduction into what to expect from this year’s Fire Prevention Week.
Regional Fire Chief Steve Debienne explains in the video that with Thanksgiving just around the corner, the leading cause of fires in the kitchen is from unattended cooking.
Debienne states in the video that according to the National Fire Protection Association cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the U.S.
