Thanksgiving Safety Tips
While the Thanksgiving holiday brings the joy of family, friends, and good food, it’s also America’s leading day for cooking fires.
Data from the National Fire Protection Association shows the number of cooking fires on Thanksgiving is three times higher than on any other day of the year.
Before you begin preparing your holiday feast, consider the following safety tips from Horry County Fire Rescue and Horry County 911 to ensure you and yours have a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving.
- Begin holiday cooking with a clean stove and oven. Remove debris and grease before turning on your burners.
- Remain in the kitchen while cooking. Never leave the area unattended.
- Set a timer on your stove and check it frequently.
- Keep children away from the stove. Put away knives and other sharp utensils when they are no longer being used.
- In the event of an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.
- Test your smoke alarms prior to cooking.
If a serious fire breaks out in your home, evacuate immediately and call 911.
