Ensuring that household and commercial kitchens contain safety equipment as well as ensuring that gas cylinders are left outside the kitchen but not exposed to direct sunlight are among other preventive measures that were advised.
Smoking away from curtains or furniture that could catch fire is another important tip as well as conducting regular maintenance on vehicles and ensuring the availability of an extinguisher as well.
