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
