Top tips to protect your family from fire hazards during the holidays For most, the kitchen is the heart of the home, espe- cially during the holidays. From testing family reci- pes to decorating cakes and cookies, everyone enjoys be- ing part of the preparations. So keeping fire safety top of mind in the kitchen dur- ing this joyous but hectic time is important, especial- ly when there's a lot of ac- tivity and people at home. As you start preparing your holiday schedule and or- ganizing that large family feast, remember, by follow- ing a few simple safety tips you can enjoy time with your loved ones and keep yourself and your family safer from fire. TOP 10 SAFETY TIPS • Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove top so you can keep an eye on the food. • Stay in the home when cooking your turkey, and check on it fre- quently. • Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay three feet away. • Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns. • 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 coun- ter within easy reach of a child. • Keep matches and util- ity lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet. • Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle. • Keep the floor clear so you don't trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags. • Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button. THANKSGIVING FIRE FACTS Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, followed by Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, and the day before Thanksgiving. In 2017, U.S. fire depart- ments responded to an esti- mated 1,600 home cooking fires on Thanksgiving, the peak day for such fires. Unattended cooking was by far the leading contrib- uting factor in cooking fires and fire deaths. Cooking equipment was involved in almost half of all reported home fires and home fire injuries, and it is the second leading cause of home fire deaths. LOCKHART TOWNSHIP FLEA MARKET UNION COMM.
