Burn prevention starts where you live.
That’s the theme behind National Burn Awareness Week, taking place from now until Saturday.
Fire officials in Grenville County say cooking is the top cause of home fires and they are reminding you not to get distracted while cooking.
They add that it’s very important to stay in the kitchen while you are frying, boiling, grilling and broiling food.
Other tips include having a portable fire extinguisher on hand, never disabling a smoke alarm and never cooking while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
