FIREFIGHTERS are taking their 'Dirty grills kill' campaign to the streets of Cheshire as part of cooking safety month in February.

Last year more than half of all accidental fires in the home started in the kitchen with Cheshire Fire chiefs using the month as an opportunity to remind people of the vital safety tips to reduce the risk of fire.

The kitchen safety vehicle will be in a number of locations over the next few weeks, including at the top of Bridge Street from 10am to 2pm on February 24, where firefighters and staff will be talking to the public and showing them some of the devastating consequences of cooking fires.
