There are two types of fire prevention devices that do not require a person to activate them: • Cooking Fire Prevention Devices: These devices fight fires before they have a chance to start. • Cooking Fire Reactive Devices:These devices extinguish a fire once it has already started, with the goal of stopping its spread and reducing the potential damage. PHLY has developed a Residential Cooking Fire Prevention guide that explains cooking fire risks and prevention options. We encourage you to review and share this information to help prevent future loss from cooking fires. More info: Risk Management Services section of MyPHLY.
