Have a Fire Safe Thanksgiving
Careless cooking is the
number one cause of residential
fires. Safety in the kitchen is important,
especially on Thanksgiving
when we have a lot of activity and
people in the household to distract
us.

Unattended cooking was by
far the leading contributing factor
in cooking fires and fire deaths.
Cooking equipment was involved
in almost half of all reported
home fires and home fire injuries,
and it is the second leading cause of
home fire deaths.
Don’t add to these statistics!
Check out the following fire
safety tips from CAL FIRE and National
Fire Protection Association:
1. Stay in the kitchen when
you are cooking on the stove top so
you can keep an eye on the food.
2. Stay in the home when
cooking your turkey and check on it
frequently.
3. Keep children away from
the stove. The stove will be hot and
kids should stay three feet away.
4. Make sure kids stay away
from hot food and liquids. The
steam or splash from vegetables,
gravy or coffee could cause serious
burns.
5. Keep knives out of the reach

6. Be sure electric cords from
an electric knife, coffee maker, plate
warmer or mixer are not dangling
off the counter within easy reach of
a child.
7. Keep matches and utility
lighters out of the reach of children
— up high in a locked cabinet.
8. Never leave children alone
in room with a lit candle.
9. Keep the floor clear so you
don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks
or bags.

alarms are working. Test them by

Avoid Coronavirus
Scams
Unfortunately, fraud reports
have spiked recently due to uncertainty
surrounding COVID-19 and
scammers are exploiting the crisis
and finding new ways to cash in
at the expense of residents. Here
are examples provided by the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) of
common frauds and tips on how
to recognize them to avoid being
scammed:
Learn how to tell the difference
between a real contact tracer
and a scammer. Legitimate tracers
need health information, not money
or personal financial information.
Don’t respond to texts,
emails or calls about checks from
the government.
Ignore offers for vaccinations
and home test kits. Scammers
are selling products to treat or prevent
COVID-19 without proof that
they work.
Be wary of ads for test kits.
Most test kits being advertised have
not been approved by the FDA and
aren’t necessarily accurate.
Hang up on robocalls.
Scammers are using illegal robocalls
to pitch everything from lowpriced
health insurance to work-athome
schemes.
Watch for emails claiming
to be from the CDC or WHO. Use
sites like coronavirus.gov and usa.
gov/coronavirus to get the latest information.
And don’t click on links
from sources you don’t know.
And last, but not least, do
your homework when it comes to
donations. Never donate in cash, by
gift card, or by wiring money.
