Cooking is the leading cause of fires and fire-related injuries in Las Vegas and across the nation, and Thanksgiving is a peak day for home cooking fires. ๐ฅ
We want to remind you to take extra precaution so you can enjoy a safe holiday.
Here are some important tips to follow: ๐ฆ
- Only use an approved turkey fryer with four legs and a built-in thermostat to maintain proper oil temperature โ
- Fry outdoors, away from buildings โ
- Follow instructions on what size turkey should be used and make sure the turkey is completely thawed and dry โ
- Never leave the fryer unattended, and wear fry gloves ๐ซ
- Outside cooking devices used at apartment complexes must be kept at least 10 feet from any building and cannot be used above the first floor ๐ซ
- Do not leave cooking food unattended in the kitchen ๐ซ
Thank you in advance to @lasvegasfd firefighters and law enforcement agencies around the valley who will work on Thanksgiving to keep everyone safe. ๐๐
