The Fire Chief would like to remind you of a few simple Safety Tips to follow during the Thanksgiving Holiday.

• Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires.
• Remain in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.
• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently.
• Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot so children should stay 3 feet away.
• Make sure children stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
• Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.
