With Thanksgiving right around the corner, many of you are getting ready by putting up decorations, sending out invites and preparing the menu.

Here are a few tips and pieces of advice for you on how you can stay safe from fire damage this holiday season and have a great time!
1. Ensure all smoke detectors have fresh batteries.
2. Start any holiday cooking with a clean stove top or oven to minimize the risk of fire.
3. Place towels and fabrics far from fire source.
4. If you are using candles for decorations, be sure they are at a safe distance from fabrics or other heat sensitive materials.
5. Keep children and pets out of the kitchen if you are cooking. (Maybe even those clumsy adults)
6. If possible, be sure to have a fire extinguisher no farther than 10 feet from the kitchen.
