During my career, most of our residential fire calls were "pot on the stove" which if left unaddressed will turn into a kitchen fire then house/condo fire.
Most of the pot-on-stove calls were the result of a distracted, forgetful, or drunken "chef".
Older and confused adults also "forget" they have something cooking and often dose off.
Regardless, the Fire Sentry will turn the stove off when the food starts to burn saving the kitchen and/or Home.
