Keep your Thanksgiving
feasts re-safe and savory"
By Boxleit ner
kbox/e/tner@masoncounty com
As people prepare Thanksgiving
meals, Central Mason Fire & EMS is
passing on some tips from the Nation-
al Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
to ensure feasts are as safe as they are
savory.
Thanksgiving is the peak day for
home-cooking res, followed by Christ-
mas Day, the day before Thanksgiv-
ing, Easter and Christmas Eve. U.S.
re departments responded to 1,630
home cooking res on Thanksgiving in
2018.
According to the NFPA, cooking
caused almost half of all reported
home res and home re injuries,
and was the second-leading cause of
home re deaths, from 2014-18, dur-
ing which unattended cooking acted as
the leading contributor to cooking res
and re deaths. '
The NFPA advises staying in the
kitchen when cooking on the stovetop,
because the stove is where most cook-
ing res in the home occur. Keep an
eye on the food. Stay inside the home
when cooking turkey so you can check
it frequently.
' The NFPA acknowledged that a
home s kitchen often serves as the
heart of holiday gatherings such as
Thanksgiving, thereby making it more
appealing for children who want to be
involved in its holiday preparations.
That ,makes it especially important
that adults ensure their kitchens and
cooking procedures are safe for all
ages.
The NFPA advises keeping children
at least 3 feet away from the stove
and areas where hot foods or drinks
are likely to be prepared or carried,
whether you think they re hot or not,
and that kids should likewise stay
away from hot foods or liquids because
steam or splashing from vegetables,
gravy or coffee can cause serious
burns.
Knives should be kept out of the
reach of children, and ensure that
electric cords from electric knives, cof-
fee makers, plate warmers or mixers
SCHOOL BRIEFS
Shelton school
board meetings
streamed '
The Shelton School Board s regular
meetings are now being streamed live
via YouTube by MasonWebTV.
The board meets at 6 pm. the
second and fourth Tuesdays of the
month.
A link to stream the live video will
be posted on the district s website,
calendar and Facebook page, the dis-
trict states on its website.
Comments and questions for the
board members can be emailed to
them directly. The emails won t be
read aloud during board meetings,
but the district states the board and
staff members will respond. The email
addresses are listed at https://www.
sheltonschools.org/district/school
board/contact info. I
are not dangling off a kitchen counter
within easy reach of a child.
Matches and utility lighters should
be stored out of childrens reach, pref-
erably up high in a locked cabinet, and
children should never be left unat-
tended in a room with a lit candle.
The NFPA recommends keeping
kids out of the kitchen entirely, either
with activities such as games, puzzles
or books to keep them busyand en
tertained, or by giving them holiday
preparations that can be done outside
of the kitchen.
Ensure that everyone keeps the
floor clear so no one trips over toys,
pocketbooks or bags, and as always,
check that your smoke alarms work by
pushing the test button.
Even without children present,
adults should remain alert and careful
in the kitchen.
Just as you wouldn t drive while
drunk or drowsy, the NFPA warns
against using the stove or stovetop if
you re sleepy or have consumed alco-
hol.
Stay in the kitchen while you re fry-
ing, boiling, grilling or broiling food,
and if you do leave the kitchen, even
for a moment, turn off the stove. If
you re simmering, baking or roasting
food, check it regularly and remain in
the home while food is cooking, using
a timer to remind you which items are
cooking.
Anything that can catch re in-
cluding oven mitts, wooden uten-
sils, food packaging, towels or cur
tains should be kept away from your
stovetop.
If you do experience a small cooking
re, immediately leave the house and
call 911 if you have any doubts about
your ability to ght it, while closing
the door behind you to help contain
the re, but if you believe you can
safely ght a stovetop re, smother
the ames by sliding a lid over the pan
and turning off the burner, and leave
the pan covered until it is cooled.
For an oven re, turn off the heat
and keep the door closed.
The NFPA continues to discourage
the use of turkey fryers.
Shelton Schools
survey on
healthcare clinics
The Shelton School District seeks
your comments as it explores the pos-
sibility of placing a healthcare clinic
on school grounds.
The clinics, called school-based
health care centers, increase student
access to healthcare services such as
routine wellness visits, sports physi-
cals, mental healthcare, sick visits
and prescription medication.
A survey on the proposal takes
about 10 minutes. Responses will be
accepted until Dec. 18.
The survey is at http s://
