Holidays mean big meals. Big meals mean busy kitchens. Busy kitchens can mean…
chaos.

As you prepare for turkey day, make sure to be mindful of a few things:

- Make sure you have a fire extinguisher in your kitchen… and check the date to ensure it’s
still safe to use!
- Clean your oven of any junk and debris before use.
- Check that your smoke detectors are all working.
- A food thermometer is a great tool to have to make sure that your delicious feast is
thoroughly cooked to avoid food-borne illnesses.
- Have cleaning materials available to avoid cross-contamination on surfaces.
- Wash your hands thoroughly and often, especially after handling raw meats!

Emergency Preparedness means more than just being ready to react, but taking steps to
prevent emergencies as well. Enjoy your holiday meals!
