You will be in the kitchen a lot this holiday season. Therefore, whether you are an experienced cook or not, you always need to take safety precautions. Protecting your home, family, and possessions should be top priority.

According to The Daily Tribune News, the Cartersville and Bartow County fire departments are asking everyone to use caution when preparing their holiday meals. "If there is a fire, don't try to fight it. Just get out," Fire Marshal Mark Hathaway said.

The U.S. Fire Administration reports that cooking fires are the most common type of fires experienced in U.S. households and these increase on Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day. Therefore, to avoid fires related to cooking, you should follow these tips:

* Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

* If you are simmering, baking, roasting, or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you're cooking.

* Stay alert! To prevent cooking fires, you have to be alert. You won't be if you are sleepy, have been drinking alcohol, or have taken medicine that makes you drowsy.
