What to Do If a Fire Starts in the Oven?

Oven Fire – What to do

  1. Leave the oven door closed!
  2. Turn off the oven and allow the fire to burn out on its own.
  3. If it does not go out on its own, leave the house and call 911.
  4. If it does go out, then open your windows.
  5. Carefully open the oven door (it will be smoky!) and remove the hot pan.

Is it safe to use an oven after a fire?

Although most believe you should replace all appliances after a fire, it may not always be necessary. If you clean the oven thoroughly and it's functioning properly, it is most likely safe to use again after a fire. If you want to be extra careful, you should also check for cracks in the walls and ceiling of the oven.

How do I put out an oven fire?

Putting Out an Oven Fire

To put out an oven fire, turn off the oven and keep the door closed. Most of the time the fire will burn itself out since it isn't getting oxygen or heat anymore. Keep an eye on the oven and if the flame appears to be shrinking then just leave it be.
