3. Stove
Don’t leave food cooking on the stove top unattended. This is the leading cause of home cooking fires. Also, keep flammable items like towels and potholders away from the cook surface.

If you plan to use an outdoor turkey fryer, make sure you place it well away from structures, trees and other flammable materials to avoid fire. READ THE DIRECTIONS on the fryer and have a fire extinguisher on hand. And remember, the key word is outdoor.
