Cooking Fire Safety Toolkit

Cooking fire safety resources for fire educators

Cooking is the #1 cause of fires. To support local fire educators, the Department of Fire Services has created a Cooking Fire Safety public awareness campaign that promotes two key messages: Stand By Your Pan to prevent cooking fires and Put A Lid On It as the best response to stove top fires. It features three firehouse chefs and their recipes. It includes:

• TV spots (1 English, 1 Spanish)
• Radio spots (1 English, 1 Spanish)
• Cooking safety recipe cards (English and Spanish)
• Logos
• Tri-fold pamphlet in 3 languages
• Newspaper ads
• Customizable local press release
• A lesson plan
• Bookmark artwork
