From preparing the meal to setting the table to navigating family dynamics, it's easy to get caught up in the stresses of all the preparations. But, that shouldn't mean that you compromise your home safety. When it comes to your Thanksgiving holiday, ensure that you put safety first. Check out what you need to know with these Thanksgiving home safety tips.
Practice Kitchen Safety.
When cooking in the kitchen, it's important to be wary of your surroundings. Never leave the kitchen while cooking and keep hot dishes and sharp objects safely away from curious kids and pets. Additionally, keep flammable items out of the kitchen, especially away from the stove. That way you can reduce your risk for an accident.
Never Leave Candles Unattended.
When it comes to setting the holiday mood, candles offer the perfect lighting. Plus, scented candles can help to add a little something extra to your holiday celebration. However, it's important to use caution when lighting candles. Be vigilant when you light candles. Never leave a candle unattended, and you'll reduce your risk for an accidental house fire.
Keep Fire Extinguishers on Hand.
From candle accidents to cooking disasters, Thanksgiving has one of the highest instances of house fires than any other day of the year. Be prepared by exercising fire safety. Change all of the batteries in your smoke detectors and keep a fire extinguisher on hand. In the event that a fire breaks out, call 9-1-1 and get to a safe location.
