Responding to a kitchen fire

According to advice from the government's Fire Safe scheme if you have a fire in the kitchen, don't take any risks, get everyone out and call the fire service.

If electric appliances are involved and it is safe to do so:

• Pull the plug out or switch off power at the fuse box. This may stop the fire immediately.

• Smother the fire with a fire blanket, or use a carbon dioxide extinguisher if available. 'Dry' water mist extinguishers and foams can be used as well (if tested to 35kV).

• Dial 999
