🔥 Thanksgiving Turkey Fryer Safety Reminder 🔥

Thinking about deep-frying your turkey this year? It can be delicious—but it’s also one of the leading causes of holiday fires. Keep your family safe with these quick tips:

🦃 Turkey Fryer Safety Tips

Keep fryers outdoors only—far away from buildings, decks, and garages.

Never fry a frozen or partially frozen turkey. Thaw completely before cooking.

Dry the turkey thoroughly to prevent dangerous oil splatter or flare-ups.

Use on a flat, level surface to avoid tipping.

Keep children & pets at least 3 feet away.

Have a fire extinguisher ready—never use water on a grease fire.

Turn off the burner before lowering the turkey to avoid spillover.

Never leave the fryer unattended.

Stay safe, cook smart, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! 🦃❤️🔥

The PTFD was called to a structure fire on Robinhood Avenue late Saturday morning. Initial reports were that of a heavily involved house fire with a female victim still inside. The first due crews were met with an intense fire and heavy smoke conditions, with confirmation that there was, in fact, a female victim trapped inside. Firefighters pushed through the heavy smoke and fire and were able to extricate the unconscious patient to safety. The victim was one of two injured civilians that were transported to local hospitals with burns and smoke inhalation, however both are expected to recover from their injuries.
Once the rescue was made, the massive fire was extinguished without further incident.
The cause is currently under investigation.
This was an incredible effort by everyone involved as all personnel on scene contributed to the successful outcome.
The Painesville Township Fire Department would like to thank the Painesville City Fire Department Fairport Harbor Fire Department Perry Joint Fire District and Leroy Twp. Fire Department and the Lake County Sheriff's Office Sheriff Frank Leonbruno for their continued professionalism and support.
