Greater Sudbury Fire Service remind residents that cooking fires are the #1 cause of home fires. Don't leave your cooking unattended. Always stay in the kitchen while you cooking -- especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire, slide a proper fitting lid over the pot an turn off the stove. Do not move the pot, let it completely cool off.
