Fried Turkey for Thanksgiving!

We are one week away from kicking off the Holiday Season - Thanksgiving!  Preparations will begin for days of cooking for family and friends. But did you know that cooking is the leading cause of house fires? Unattended cooking is a contributing factor especially frying.  If you plan on deep frying your turkey this holiday season, follow these safety guidelines to assure your Thanksgiving Dinner doesn’t require a 911 call for the fire department. 

• Make sure your turkey is thawed – never place a frozen turkey in a fryer
• Keep a fire extinguisher close by to extinguish a fire – DO NOT USE WATER
• Never leave your fryer unattended.
• Place your fryer outside and away from your home.
• Instruct your children to stay away from your fryer and keep your pets inside or contained in an area away from your fryer.

Celebrate the season safely with your family and friends!
