Thanksgiving cooking

Thanksgiving is the peak day of the year for home cooking fires.

  • Stay in the kitchen while cooking on the stovetop.
  • Set timers and check on the turkey often.
  • Keep kids 3 feet away from the stove and hot food.
  • Turkey fryers are risky: never use one indoors, on a deck or under a roof, and thaw the turkey completely first.
  • If an oven fire starts, keep the door closed and turn off the heat.

In an emergency, always call 911.
