The Chicago Fire Department demonstrated how a delicious main course could turn Thanksgiving into tragedy.
At the Quinn Fire Academy Wednesday morning, firefighters showed how quickly a deep-fried turkey can start a fire if not handled correctly.Having too much oil in the fryer can cause big flames that can get out of control, burning down garages, porches and houses, and injuring people.
Be sure the turkey is completely dried off after the test and lower it in the oil slowly. Nance-Holt says never leave the fryer unattended. Fire officials remind the public to cook away from any structures. Do not put a deep fryer under an overhang. Make sure the turkey is thawed and dried out before putting it in hot oil.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
