SERVPRO of Plainfield/Naperville South Wishes You Happy & Safe Holidays.

Statistics on the use of smoke detectors are alarming. Detectors work well and save lives, but only about half of homeowners keep working ones installed. SERVPRO^® of Plainfield/Naperville South can help restore structures and contents – not people.

Working smoke detectors give people time to get out of buildings. They save lives.

Please make your safety a priority and install smoke detectors that you check regularly.

Distracted Cooking Can Lead to Kitchen Fires

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) found that a major cause of house fires was cooking, with lack of attention being the major problem. Thanksgiving Day is a big day for cooking and for distractions, making it the biggest day in the United States for house fires. The second biggest day is the day before Thanksgiving.

If you don’t usually cook, don’t choose a day filled with distractions to try something complicated.

No matter how new or how experienced, remember these safety tips:

• Stay near the stove when frying or boiling food
• Keep children and pets away from cooking surfaces
• Don’t wear loose, trailing clothing in the kitchen, and keep your hair away from the pots and pans (good for sanitary reasons as well)
• Move books, towels, ornaments, and anything else flammable away from the cooking
• Check on all cooking at regular intervals
• Before cooking, make sure there is no grease built up on the oven or stove top
• Keep pot handles turned away from the edge

Things We’ve Heard of But Hope are Not True

• Turkey & gravy flavored pop (also: green bean casserole, mashed potato & butter, fruitcake, & tofurkey)
• Roasted-turkey flavored chips
• Turkey dinner layer cake (layers of stuffing & ground turkey, with a frosting of mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes)
• Turkey gravy cranberry cupcakes (we could go for the cranberry)
• Turkey-gravy potato chips
• Mashed potato & gravy jellybeans (sounds like a punishment)
