 With the Thanksgiving holiday just days away, CAL FIRE is reminding Californians about the dangers that home fires pose during the holiday season. Holidays are a time of food, fun and festivities; but they are also a time to be extra cautious as thousands of home fires across the nation are caused from holiday cooking.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially during the holidays, but it is also where most fires start. Cooking is the leading cause of fires in homes.
It is important to be especially alert of your cooking activities when your family and guests are around. “Thanksgiving Day is often the day of the year when we respond to the most home cooking fires,” said Chief Ken Pimlott, CAL FIRE Director. “It’s really important that everyone practice a little extra fire safety this Thanksgiving to help prevent a cooking fire.”
To help reduce the chance of fire and injuries associated with holiday cooking fires, CAL FIRE would like to offer the following tips: Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove. Never leave cooking food on the stove unattended.
