A Thanksgiving Cooking Safety Reminder from Lincoln Fire Rescue Service
Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends and a delicious meal — but a busy kitchen can quickly become a fire hazard. A few simple precautions can help keep your celebration safe.
- Stay in the kitchen. Never leave cooking unattended. If you need to step away, turn off the stove.
- Keep a lid nearby. If a pot or pan catches fire, cover it with a properly fitting lid, turn off the heat and leave it covered until completely cool. Never use water or move a burning pot. If the fire doesn’t go out immediately, get everyone outside and call 9-1-1.
- Keep your cooking area clear. Keep towels, oven mitts, packaging, wooden utensils and other items that can burn away from heat sources. Roll up loose sleeves while cooking.
- Cook alert. Alcohol, cannabis, some medications and fatigue can affect your ability to respond quickly. Designate a responsible cook when needed.
- Create a kid- and pet-free zone. Maintain a one-metre safety zone around the stove, hot food and liquids.
- Check your smoke alarms. Test your alarms before guests arrive and make sure everyone knows what to do if one sounds.
- Review your home escape plan. Make sure everyone knows two ways out, if possible, and where to meet outside. Once out, stay out and call 9-1-1.
