Thanksgiving Safety from the Laguna Vista Volunteer Fire Department

Thanksgiving is a special day to cook, bake, fry, and barbecue for our loved ones — but safety should always be the top ingredient.

As you prepare your holiday meals, please remember these important safety tips:

🔥 Never leave cooking unattended, whether you’re in the kitchen or outdoors.

🚨 Check your smoke alarms at least every six months, and especially during busy cooking seasons like the holidays.

🦃 Frying a turkey? Please remember to fry ONLY outdoors, on a level surface, and away from homes, structures, or anything flammable. Never fry a turkey indoors.
