STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 With the holidays right around the corner, the Fire Department of New York to take extra care this year, especially in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
In a new public service announcement, the FDNY is warning New Yorkers about the risk of fires, particularly in kitchens.<\/p>\n
Most fires, according to the fire department, start in the kitchen, many from food being left unattended while cooking.<\/p>\n
The FDNY recommends always keeping an eye on the pots and pans being used to cook, and to turn their handles inward so they cannot be accidentally bumped or grabbed.<\/p>\n
In case of a pan fire, do not use water to put it out as this can start a grease fire, the fire department warns. Instead, use a lid or baking soda to smother the flames.<\/p>\n
If there is an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the oven door closed until the fire is completely out, according to the FDNY.<\/p>\n
The fire department also reminds New Yorkers to be mindful of loose or baggy clothing near open flames. <\/p>\n
