Bethel Fire & EMS is warning that frying pans can catch fire. They say it's a natural reaction to reach for a pot of water, but grease fires and water do not mix. This holiday season, as residents spend more time in the kitchen, people are urged to be confident with how to safely smother a grease fire to avoid a dangerous situation. Bethel and Stony Hill Volunteer Fire Companies have created safety videos, posted to their Facebook page.
