Online Webinar — 21 January 2027, 19:00–20:00 GMT
Kitchen Fire Safety Webinar
Kitchen fires cause more than half of all accidental house fires in the UK — and the vast majority are preventable. This free 60-minute session covers the causes, the tools, and the habits that eliminate the most common risks.
Key fact
Over 50% of accidental dwelling fires in England start in the kitchen. The most common single cause is unattended cooking — leaving the hob or grill unattended while the heat is on. The fix is a habit, not equipment.
