Thanksgiving Turkey Fryer Starts Fire in New Haven Home?

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team has been restoring fire damage in the New Haven area for over 15 years. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), turkey fryers that use oil and an open flame are unsafe to use. This is because these fryers use a large amount of cooking oil at high temperatures, which can lead to devastating burns in many cases. The NFPA suggests purchasing an infrared fryer or an electric turkey fryer approved and listed by a qualified testing laboratory, and never leave fryers unattended when in use.

Here are some key safety tips for operating any electric cooking appliance from the NFPA:

• Always use cooking equipment like air fryers, slow cookers, electric skillets, hot plates, griddles, etc., that are listed by a qualified testing laboratory.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on where and how to use appliances.
• Remember to unplug all appliances when not in use.
• Check cords regularly for damage. Do not use any appliance with a damaged cord.
