Thanksgiving is just around the corner! If deep-frying your turkey is part of your holiday tradition, keep these essential safety tips in mind:

• Use the fryer outdoors, on a level surface away from children, pets, fences, structures decks and patios and never leave them unattended.

• Center the pot on the burner, heat the oil to 350 F (177 C), monitor the temperature, avoid overfilling and cook for 3-5 minutes per pound.

• Never get a turkey that is larger than the recommended size. Completely thaw and dry turkey before cooking. Pat the thawed turkey dry with paper towels.

• Do not emerge partially frozen and/or wet turkeys in oil. They will cause hot oil splatter when added to the oil.

• Slowly immerse the turkey into the oil Read your instruction manual carefully. If oil begins to smoke, turn gas supply off.

• Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher nearby. Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. If the fire is manageable, use your all-purpose fire extinguisher. If the fire increases, immediately call the fire department for help.

It’s officially storm season.⛈️

Here are some generator safety tips to keep in mind:

• Have a qualified electrician install your generator.

• Operate generators outdoors, well away from windows, doors, vents and other openings.

• Never use a generator in a garage, basement, shed or other enclosed space.

• Never refuel a generator while it is hot. Turn it off and allow it to cool completely first.

• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and install carbon monoxide alarms in the home.

Generators can be helpful during a power outage, but they can also create serious fire and carbon monoxide hazards when used incorrectly.

Plan ahead! 🏠

If a fire breaks out in your home, you may only have a few minutes escape safely after the smoke alarm sounds. Make sure everyone in your household knows what to do and where to go.

Fire escape planning tips:

• Draw a map of your home showing all the doors and windows. Review the plan with everyone in your home.

• Know at least two ways out of every room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows leading outside open easily.

• Have an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole or mailbox) a safe distance from the home where everyone should meet.

• Practice your home fire drill at night and during the day with everyone in your home, twice a year.

• Teach children how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.

• Close doors behind you as you leave to help slow the spread of fire and smoke.
Make your plan today, practice it twice a year, and remember: get out and stay out.

Planning to light candles in your home? Candles can create a warm atmosphere, but they can also pose a fire risk when not used safely. 🕯️

Keep these important safety tips in mind:

• Keep candles 1 meter away from anything that can burn, including curtains, decorations, furniture and other combustibles.

• Place candles in a sturdy holder that keeps the flame enclosed and secure. Never leave a lit candle unattended and always extinguish it before leaving the room or going to bed.

• During a power outage, use flashlights or battery-powered lighting whenever possible. If you use candles, consider battery-operated flameless candles as a safer alternative.

Enjoy the glow but always put fire safety first.

Alarms save lives! 🚨

When a fire starts, smoke can spread quickly. Smoke alarms provide an early warning and give valuable time to get outside safely. Here are some alarm tips and reminders:

• Test your smoke alarms at least once a month by pressing the test button.

• Smoke alarms with non-replaceable batteries are designed to work for 10 years. If the alarm chirps to signal low battery, replace the entire alarm.

• For smoke alarms with replaceable batteries, change batteries at least once a year. If the alarm chirps, replace the battery immediately.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they do not respond properly when tested.

Make sure everyone in your household knows what the alarm sounds like and what to do when it goes off.
