The Solution
Never leave the kitchen while something is cooking on the stove.
Keep combustibles at least 3 ft. away from the cooktop. This includes curtains and wall hangings.

Post a reminder note near the range for a week or two until everyone gets the message.

Don't take any chances. Check out the StoveTop FireStop - an automatic fire suppressor designed specifically for the cooktop. StoveTop FireStop is about the size of a tuna can and magnetizes underneath the venthood. When flame activated it releases a fire-suppressing powder and automatically puts out the fire so you don't have to get close to an open, dangerous flame.
