My safety tip? "Put a Lid on Pan Fires." There's a fire station in north Raleigh that puts fire safety tips out on a sign in front of the station. They have a handfull that they rotate through. My favorite has always been "Put a Lid on Pan Fires." They've got a big cartoon picture of a pan fire and someone putting a lid on it to extinguish the flame. It gets the point across. Since I didn't have the benefit of the graphic to illustrate the point, I wrote a short story about how you sometimes create a grease fire when you're cooking your favorite meal on the skillet. Instead of panicing, you can easily remedy the situation by covering the fire with a lid, which deprives the fire of the O2 necessary to sustain a flame. (Yes, I said "deprives the fire of the O2....") Anyway, I came up with that tip on a lark, just for fun. And now I have a baseball cap.
Door Prizes!
