What was left of the kitchen after a fire in Newberry, SC

As we begin to kick-off the Holiday Season better known as “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and one of the biggest cooking days of the year let us all remember safety first. Thanksgiving is the peak day for home fires from the result of cooking. We have listed a few safety tips while cooking your famous feast for your family and friends.

• Stay in the kitchen while you are cooking at high temperatures
• Never leave your home while your oven is on (even on low temperatures) while cooking the Turkey
• Keep your kids and pets out of the cooking area – set up a mini cooking area away from the kitchen and let the kids help by stirring your cake batter or decorating the cookies.
• Cook in short sleeve shirts
• Keep pot handles turned inward towards the back of the stove
• Check your smoke detectors to assure they are in working order

Most importantly when you are planning your Thanksgiving Day menu make sure you have your fire safety planned as well.  If you follow these few safety tips, chances are you will not need to call on our services this Holiday Season.  Happy Thanksgiving for our SERVPRO home to yours.
