Thanksgiving Safety

We all know the kitchen is the heart of the home especially at Thanksgiving. Did you know that Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment?

Here at Quality Electric we love to make sure out clients are safe. With the Thanksgiving Holiday just around the corner here are some tips from the NFPA on how to keep you and your children safe.

• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.
• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently.
• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
• Keep the floor clear so you do not trip over kids toys, pocketbooks or bags.
• Be sure electric cord from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of children.
• Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children - up high in a cabinet.
• Never leave children alone in a room with a lit candle.
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.
