Happy Thanksgiving from the Brantford Fire Department! As you prepare for a weekend filled with food, keep these safe cooking reminders in mind:
👀 stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop
🦃 stay home and check on your turkey often
⏲️ use a timer to help track cooking time
🕯️ keep combustibles items at least 1 meter from heat sources like the stove or candles
👶 🚫 keep kids and pets at least 1 meter away from the stove, hot foods, and hot liquids
🔥 🛑 If a fire starts, cover the pot with a lid to smother the flames and turn off the heat. NEVER use water on a grease fire! Call 9-1-1.
Test your smoke and CO alarms before you start cooking to make sure they're working.
