Cooking safety month

Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service will be sharing cooking safety tips throughout the month of February. 

There are a number of cooking related dates throughout the month including Pancake Day and Chip Pan Safety Week.

Pancake Day

Pancake Day is the day when people reach for the frying pan, lemon and sugar - but some end up needing the fire and rescue service too.

When making pancakes, never leave any cooking or kitchen appliances unattended. It only takes a few seconds for an unattended pan or cooker to catch fire.

Chip Pan Safety Week

Reduce the chance of having a fire in your home by throwing away your chip pan for chip pan safety week.

Please do not use traditional chip pans, because they can cause fatal fires. There are other options for cooking chips which will keep you and your family safer. Please choose an alternative to chip pans.

Biker Down courses

If you were the first on the scene of an accident involving a biker, would you know what to do? Would you know who is most at risk, how to protect the area or whether you should remove the helmet of a downed rider?

Actions taken in the first few moments after an accident can be crucial in minimising injuries and can make a real difference to the lives of those involved, but there can be some uncertainty about what to do in these situations.

We are holding a number of Biker Down training courses this year. For dates and details please visit our website.
