To make sure it’s safe to enter after when everything has calmed down and make sure the kettle is disposed of. A later priority is to address that there was an incident and to investigate it and find out what happened we would do this later to not scare people in what happened and it would be more of a priority to make sure everyone is safe first and not to close to the kitchen then after when everyone is dealt with investigate what happened so the problem won’t happen again. if it was a accident then make sure you come up with
