Humberside Fire and Rescue Service attended more than 500 accidental house blazes
Daryl Oprey, head of safety for Humberside Fire and Rescue Service, said: "In 2012, Humberside Fire and Rescue Service attended 506 accidental house fires and nearly 200 of those were cooking related. When cooking, I urge people to never leave it unattended, don't cook if under the influence of alcohol and ensure the cooker is turned off when you have finished.
"We are asking residents to make a change for 2013 by introducing a bedtime check into their household. If a fire breaks out, these steps can make escaping quicker and easier but ultimately, this routine can prevent a fire from happening in the first place."
