When cooking in a microwave oven, always use pot holders to remove items. Food items, some bowls and table service can become extremely hot. Also, beware not to allow children to remove items from the microwave. Often we see children who not only burn their hands, but also spill the hot item on themselves, causing serious burns to the face, torso, legs and arms. Make certain that your fireplace has an adequate enclosure to prevent sparks from exiting the fireplace and causing a fire or burn.
Smoke detectors save lives.
Have at least one smoke detector in every level of your home. Check the batteries every six months.
