Kitchen Fires Happen Most Often on Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time of the year. Friends, family, food, great conversation and lots of catching up to do.

I just read an interesting article that said that more kitchen fires happen on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. Things happen. Your guests are arriving, someone spills something, the doorbell rings, the phone rings, the dog needs to be let out. Anything can happen to take you away from the kitchen.

There are several products available to help you extinguish a kitchen fire, the Kitchen Fire Blanket is one. It can be thrown over the top of a blazing pot or pan, however, if the fire has spread beyond the pot or pan, you will need a kitchen fire extinguisher.  We keep one of these in our pantry, just in case.

If the fire has spread to the cabinets, obviously you need to call 911. Don't endanger yourself or the lives of others over "stuff". "Stuff" can be replaced, your friends and family cannot.

Here is the link to the article that had some tips in them. This Old House. 

Have a blessed, safe and Happy Thanksgiving!!
