As we get close to Thanksgiving here are a few tips for safe turkey frying.
Always use turkey fryers outdoors and a safe distance from buildings and other materials that can burn.
Never use turkey fryers on wooden decks or in garages.
Make sure that the fryer is on a flat surface to prevent tipping.
NEVER leave a turkey fryer unattended.
Keep pets and children away from the fryer to prevent burns or accidental tipping.
Use well insulated potholders or oven mitts when touching the fryer or lid.
Wear eye and skin protection to protect yourself from oil spatter.
Make sure that the turkey is completely thawed before placing in oil.
Keep an all purpose fire extinguisher (ABC) nearby in case of fire. Never use water to extinguish a grease or oil fire.
The Black Forest Fire Rescue Protection District wishes everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
