South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue have issued a warning to the public about the dangers of using chip pans.
They have offered advice on safer alternatives.
Our crews attended a fire caused by a chip pan earlier this week in Doncaster. 🔥
We recommend cooking your chips in the oven or using an air fryer – these are much safer! 🍟
And, when you're cooking anything, never leave it unattended. 🛑 pic.twitter.com/Mh8LUGuSn2
