According to the National Fire Protection Association, Thanksgiving Day is the peak day for home cooking fires in the United States. Our local Gary and Whiting teams want everyone to have a safe and fire-damage-free celebration and offer these tips for preventing kitchen fires:

Whether roasting a turkey in the oven or simmering sauces on the stovetop, it's crucial to monitor your cooking. If you need to step away, ask someone else to watch the stove.

Second, keep flammable items like towels, wooden utensils, and pot holders away from heat sources. A small spark or open flame can quickly ignite these materials.

It's also essential to have a working fire extinguisher in the kitchen, preferably within arm's reach. Know how to use it, and if a fire does break out, act quickly to extinguish it before it spreads.

Finally, be cautious with children and pets in the kitchen. Keep them at a safe distance from hot appliances and sharp objects. These simple fire prevention tips can keep your Thanksgiving celebrations safe and worry-free.
