Happy Thanksgiving from the SERVPRO of Kelowna Team

Oct 4 to 10th is “Fire Safety” week. As many of us will be gathering to enjoy a yummy Thanksgiving feast this weekend, we wanted to provide some reminders and tips for your Thanksgiving dinner:

• Ensure your smoke alarms are connected and working
• Never leave your food unattended. Use a timer and routinely check you’re cooking
• If frying or deep-frying, keep the fryer outside, away from walls and moisture
• Ensure pot holders and food wrappers are always at a safe distance from the stove
• Avoid wearing dangling accessories or loose clothes while cooking
• Never douse a grease fire with water!! Turn off the burner, smother the flames, or douse with baking soda……or use a fire extinguisher
• Keep a fire extinguisher handy in the kitchen, and know how to use it
