Hliday Fire Safety Tips!

Your Fire Chiefs Offer These Safety Tips

Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires. Three-fifths (59%) of reported home cooking fire injuries occurred when victims tried to fight the fire themselves. A CPSC study found that 83% of frying fires began in the first 15 minutes of cooking. Keep anything that can catch fire - potholders, towels or curtains - away from your stovetop. • Have a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drink is prepared or carried. Be safe and be happy this holiday season!
