"Prevent Kitchen Fires"—that's the message of this year's

 Fire Prevention Month

The Month of October is Fire Prevention Month, we'll be spreading the word that more fires start in the kitchen than in any other part of the home—and we'll help teach people how to keep cooking fires from starting in the first place.
