The holidays are a time for family, gratitude, and delicious meals- but fire safety🔥 should always be on the top of the menu! This holiday🎄season, protect your loved ones by following these simple cooking safety tips: 1️⃣ Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you must leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. 2️⃣ Use a timer to remind yourself that the stove or oven is on. 3️⃣ Avoid wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking. 4️⃣ Keep kids and pets at least three feet away from cooking areas. 5️⃣ Keep anything that can catch on fire — potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, and towels or curtains — away from your stove top and oven or any other appliance that generates heat. Follow these safety tips and visit redcross.org/fire for more information, including a fire escape plan to practice with your family. #HolidaySafety #CookingTips
