The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially at Thanksgiving, but it is also the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment.
The National Fire Protection Association has the following tips to keep you and your family safe:
• Stay in the kitchen and keep an eye on the stovetop and oven when you are cooking.
• Children should stay at least 3 feet away from the stove.
• Keep kids stay away from hot food and liquids. Steam or splash from vegetables, gravy, or coffee could cause serious burns.
• Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, or bags.
• Keep knives out of the reach of children.
• Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
• Keep matches and utility lighters in a high cabinet out of the reach of children.
• Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Regularly test the alarms throughout the year.
