Point Cook Fire Brigade attend two Kitchen Fires in two days.

In both instances only minimal damage resulted, however, it is a reminder that safety in the home is a personal responsibility and should not be taken lightly. These fires could have resulted in much greater losses and yet there are many steps that a home owner/renter can take to minimise any risks. 
Simple things such as a fire blanket or fire extinguisher can be at the ready should the need arise.

According to CFA 2002 statistics, out of 1300 house fires, approximately 30% of them started in the kitchen.
