Thanksgiving Kitchen Safety: Prevent Home Fires
Staff Report / LAXlocal.org
Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and injuries. As Thanksgiving approaches, the Los Angeles Fire Department and the U.S. Fire Administration emphasize the importance of kitchen safety, especially on Thanksgiving Day, which is the peak day for home cooking fires.
To prevent kitchen fires, the agencies recommend that individuals stay in the kitchen while cooking at high temperatures. Additionally, it is advisable to set a timer when simmering or baking to avoid distractions that may lead to forgetting food on the stove or in the oven.
The message is clear: prioritize safety while preparing meals to protect yourself and your home from the risks of fire.
