How to avoid a fire at home

It is easy to forget the frying pan on the hob when the doorbell rings or the children need help. There is a lot you can do in your home to stop a fire starting. Our partner Länsförsäkringar has plenty of good advice on its website, and here are four important tips for the kitchen:

1. Keep a smoke alarm, a fire blanket and a powder extinguisher close to the kitchen

2. Clean the cooker hood regularly

3. Take extra care with hot oil and never flambé under the hood

4. Never pour water over burning fat or oil - use a lid or a fire blanket
