Did you know that more cooking fires occur on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year? In 2023 an estimated 1,446 home cooking fires were reported to U.S. fire departments on Thanksgiving day. 🦃

Most turkey fires are preventable. Being able to recognize some of these common mistakes will help in reducing your risk of a fire starting.

DROPPING A FROZEN OR PARTIALLY THAWED TURKEY INTO OIL.
Be sure your turkey is completely thawed (give it at least 3 days in the fridge if it has been in the freezer!). Make sure to lower the turkey slowly into the pot to prevent oil from splashing. Oil and ice do not mix. When ice comes into contact with hot oil, the water vaporizes, causing steam bubbles to pop and spray hot oil. Do not use ice or water to cool down oil or extinguish an oil fire. Instead, keep a fire extinguisher approved for grease fires nearby and immediately call 911 for help.

UNATTENDED COOKING.
Frying involves cooking with a combustible medium (cooking oil or grease). Many frying units do not have thermostat controls, and if left and if left unattended, the oil will continue to heat until the point of combustion.

FRYER TOO CLOSE TO A STRUCTURE.
More than one-third of fires involving a fryer start in a garage or patio. Cook outdoors and away from flammables!

Turkey fryers can be dangerous and cause a serious fire hazard. NFPA® and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) demonstrate the risk in using turk...
