Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. On Wednesday, April 12th, a residence in Pikeville experienced a small kitchen fire. Fortunately, the fire and smoke were quickly dealt with by Pikeville Fire Rescue, resulting in no property damage and no injuries. Public Information Officer Nicholas Fleming shares more details on the incident and some advice for those who are unprepared to deal with a kitchen fire. Keep kitchen safety in mind because we do have the likelihood of kitchen fires as one of the most common types of fires that we can experience in our home. Obviously, smoke detectors need to be placed appropriately throughout the house, but we definitely need one in the kitchen. I can't stress enough to have a fire extinguisher present and not just any fire extinguisher. Typically, we want an ABC style or a dry chemical style. If nothing else, just leave it be until we arrive or if you can use a dry chemical extinguisher on it, that's best. With the weather heating up this time of year, many will be cooking out for their friends and family. It's important to know how to handle and avoid potential grill fires and ensure everyone's safety. First thing, make sure that the appliance that you're using, whether it be a charcoal grill or a gas grill or one of the flat top burners, is that it is in good condition to be used for that year. Just inspect and make sure everything's safe on it. Make sure all the burners are operating properly. Make sure you clean them and make sure that they're going to operate for you properly. Check your propane tank fittings. Make sure that they're good and tight and that they're operating properly. And just always have a plan in case there is a fire. Any kind of fire rubs, you can kind of know, hey, I've got an extinguisher nearby. In case that fire was to erupt, that kind of ties into any kind of fire pits or anything. Really, if you're going to have a fire going, have a plan to put it out. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Collum.
