Stay safe this Thanksgiving.

As many folks prepare their homes and recipes for Thanksgiving meets and eats, we want to take a moment to share a few cooking and fire safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Stay in the home when cooking and check on your turkey frequently.
• Steam and splash from liquids could cause serious burns; keep children away at least 3 feet from the stove.
• Keep floors clear so as to avoid tripping hazards.
• Matches and lighters should be kept out of reach of children; this also includes lit candles.
• Test smoke alarms.
