Tips for a Safe Thanksgiving
Ensure that your smoke alarms are working properly before cooking your feast. Install new batteries if needed.
Use timers so food does not burn and potentially set off alarms and/or cause a fire.
Keep your prep space clean and organized. Oven mitts, paper towels and dish towels, food wrappers and other easily-combustible items should be kept at least three feet away from heat and flames.
Most importantly, do not drink and drive. Arrange for a designated driver or call an Uber/Lfyt/Taxi.
