Patient was instructed on tips for fire safety. Keep cooking areas clear of combustibles and wear short or tight-fitting sleeves when cooking. Keep the handles of the pots turned inward so they do not ever-hang the stove. If grease catches fire, carefully slide a lid over the pan and smother the flames, then turn off the burner.
