From your Magnet Cove Fire Department, we hope everyone has a happy (and safe) Thanksgiving with family and friends!

Thanksgiving is the biggest cooking day of the year, which means it’s extra important to stay fire safe.

Keep everyone safe in the kitchen: stay by your pan, stay in the kitchen, and keep an eye on your food while it’s cooking. Most Thanksgiving fires start when cooking is left unattended, a little attention makes all the difference.

As you’re prepping your holiday meal, remember to wear tight-fitting sleeves or keep them rolled up while cooking. Loose clothing can easily brush against a burner or hot surface.

This simple habit can help prevent a fire during the busiest cooking day of the year.

🎃 Halloween Safety tip of the day:🎃

👻 When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so he or she can see out. 👻

A few more Halloween safety tips from Sparky the Fire Dog:
👻 Remember to keep all exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes. And make sure all smoke alarms in the home or facility are working.

Sparky knows every room needs two ways out—just like in this spooky maze, where you’ll find two safe exits to the outside meeting place.

As you head out for trick-or-treating fun this week, remember these important Halloween safety tips:
✨ Trick-or-treat with a grown-up.
✨ Carry a flashlight or glow stick.
✨ Stay away from lit candles.

🎃 Halloween fire safety tip #1: 🎃

👻 Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep decorations away from open flames and other heart sources like lamps and heaters. 👻

💡 Did you know? Between 2018–2022, candles caused over 1/3 of Halloween decoration fires. This year, swap the flame for glow sticks or battery-operated candles. Safer. Spookier. Smarter.

This week we'll be sharing fire safety tips as we countdown to Halloween. Don't forget to come visit us Friday night for Halloween at the station! 🎃🍬🍿🚒
