A Feast Without Flames

Thanksgiving, a time for gratitude and gathering, often involves a festive feast. However, the joy of the holiday can quickly turn to sorrow if fire safety precautions are overlooked. In this blog, we'll explore essential fire prevention tips for a safe and happy Thanksgiving celebration, along with the assurance that SERVPRO of Mankato/Owatonna professional fire damage restoration services are available around the clock.

Fire Prevention Tips for Thanksgiving:

Mind the Kitchen: Never leave the stove or oven unattended, especially when cooking multiple dishes.

Keep flammable items like kitchen towels and oven mitts away from open flames and hot surfaces.

Check Smoke Alarms: Test smoke alarms before the festivities begin to ensure they are in working order.

Replace batteries in smoke alarms if needed and have a fire extinguisher readily available in the kitchen.

Keep a Clear Space: Maintain a clear area around the cooking area to prevent any accidental tripping or knocking over of items onto the stove.

Candle Caution: Consider using flameless candles as a safer alternative to traditional candles.

If using real candles, keep them away from flammable decorations and place them in sturdy, tip-resistant holders.

Outdoor Cooking Safety: If deep-frying a turkey, do so outdoors and away from structures.

Ensure the turkey is completely thawed and dried to avoid oil splatters.
