Did you know Thanksgiving is the leading day for cooking fires? According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), there are more than three times as many home cooking fires on Thanksgiving as a typical day of the year.

Stay safe this Thanksgiving with tips from the Spokane Fire Department.

Stay in the kitchen when cooking at high temperatures.
Use a timer as a reminder when food is simmering or baking.
Maintain a 3 foot (1 meter) kid and pet-free-zone around the stove.
Wear short or close-fitting sleeves while cooking on the stove.
Keep pan/pot handles turned towards the back of the stove.
