Developed by Northwest Fireflies and Your Local Fire Department No-Bake Recipe Fun Think about all the things in your kitchen that can get hot: the oven, the stove, the toaster, the coffeemaker, and food inside the microwave oven.

Because he was hungry, he decided to heat up some soup. He placed the pot of soup on the stove, turned the burner on, and then headed for his room to watch television. About 15 minutes later, Kris, who was six, walked into the kitchen, looking for something to eat. She smelled something good coming from the stove, so she reached up, grabbed the pot handle and pulled the pot toward her. The boiling hot soup poured all down the front of Kris. Samuel heard her scream from his bedroom. He ran into the room, grabbed Kris, and ran her down the street to his best friend’s house for help. Incident 2 Carole and John, hungry from a tough soccer game, decided to make some french fries for a quick snack. John filled the frying pan with oil and turned on the burner. The oil heated up quickly, and Carole added the fries. While the fries were cooking, Carole and John went to their rooms to change into clean clothes. John phoned his friend to discuss the game, and Carole tried to remove the stain from her jersey. About 25 minutes later the kids heard the smoke alarm. They ran into the kitchen and realized that they had started a grease fire. They ran through the house trying to open the windows. When the smoke got too thick, they finally went outside. Luckily, a neighbor saw smoke coming from their house and called the fire department. Read the following stories. Write a summary of each, including what the proper response to the emergency should have been, and what should have been done to prevent the incident. Incident 1 Incident 2 1. Samuel should have cooled the burn with cool water and called 911 for help. To prevent this Samuel should have watched the soup cook and turned the pot handles in away from the edge of the stove. 2. Carole and John should have immediately left the house when they heard the smoke alarm, closing the doors behind them. Never leave food cooking unattended; an adult should always be nearby.
