We’re pretty good at showing you what not to do, and it’s only because we want people to see how fast things can go bad. Turkey fryers get a lot of attention this time of year, but they’re only one of the risks we see around Thanksgiving.

While you’re cooking your holiday dishes, watch out for the things that cause the most trouble in real kitchens:

• Walking away from the stove
• Grease getting too hot
• Clutter near burners
• Kids or pets running through the workspace

Keep your kitchen clear, stay close to what you’re cooking, and have a safe holiday season.

Safety Stache says as colder months approach, incidents of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning increase. CO is a colorless, odorless invisible byproduct of incomplete combustion of fuels that displaces oxygen in our blood. 

Sources?
-automobiles
-small engines
-lanterns
-stoves
-grills
-furnaces
-generators

Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, weakness. 

If experiencing these symptoms, leave the space into fresh air and call 911. 

Prevention tips!
-Service your appliances frequently by certified technicians
-Install CO monitors on each level of your home. 
-Do not use fuel burning devices inside
-Do not run a vehicle for extended periods of time in garage
-Inspect exhaust stacks and air intakes to be clear of snow or debris
-Ensure fireplace is vented

Be safe out there everyone!
