Holiday safety starts with SAFE COOKING. The kitchen is the heart of the home and the #1 source of holiday fires. Stay in the kitchen when cooking. Use a timer. Keep anything that can burn away from the stovetop. Use a lid to extinguish any pot fires. #HolidaySafetyON

Holiday safety starts with having a HOME FIRE ESCAPE PLAN. Fire doesn't wait. Every second counts. A home fire escape plan can be the difference between life and death. Make a plan and practice it at least twice a year - once at night and once in the day. #HolidaySafetyON

Holiday safety starts with SAFE FAMILIES IN THE KITCHEN. Little hands or paws and holiday heat don't mix - keep kids/pets safe while you cook. Cooking is the #1 cause of house fires. Turn off the stove if you must leave the kitchen. NEVER leave cooking unattended #HolidaySafetyOn
