Cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year? Even a professional chef can get distracted in the kitchen leaving the chance for a cooking fire.
According to the National Fire Protection Council, Thanksgiving is the leading day for cooking fires in the U.S.

- Alcohol and turkeys don’t mix! Don’t drink and cook especially when using a stove or cook top.
- Don’t leave the kitchen unattended especially when frying, grilling or broiling food.
