It’s been a long day and you were late getting home. You pay the babysitter and tell her to drive home safe before you go and get your little ones ready for bed. Finally, you were able to tuck them in and come back downstairs to finally make yourself something to eat. Pans out, oil’s hot, food is in, and you start washing up plates from earlier.

Suddenly, you hear something on the stairs, and see Max standing on the staircase asking for a story. You take him back up and lay him down again, by this point you’re tired and decide the dishes can wait. Enjoying the feeling of being fresh from the shower and in comfy loungewear, you notice a smell... smoke! What did you forget? THE PAN!

Smoke has filled the kitchen and is seeping into the rest of the house; fire is bursting from the stove top. Under the thick haze and intense heat, you get everyone out of the house. With all the chaos, you didn’t have time to grab the phone. You go over to the neighbors and try to wake them up to call for help. By now everything has gotten out of hand and the damage has been done, no matter how fast emergency services are.

Why Professional Monitoring is Needed

The fire was an innocent accident, you might think you’re not this careless and you most likely aren’t. But accidents happen and cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires, the biggest cause is unattended cooking. You know all the safety precautions, don’t cook when sleepy or after consuming alcohol, stay in the kitchen while cooking, etc. But as shown in our scenario above, things happen.
