Poor decisions and risky behaviour

If you have consumed alcohol or drugs, do not start using any heated appliances.

Being tired can have the same effect as consuming a few alcoholic beverages.

Make sure you are thinking clearly and can avoid distractions when you start cooking.

Call one of many delivery services or restaurants to help deliver food to you safely.

If an accident does happen, call 9-1-1 and get out of the house

And of course, make sure you always have working smoke and CO alarms in your home
