As Thanksgiving approaches, fire officials are issuing warnings about the dangers associated with frying turkeys at home. The practice, while popular for its ability to produce a juicy and flavorful turkey, poses significant fire risks if not done correctly.
Officials are advising the public to follow safety guidelines to prevent accidents, such as ensuring the fryer is used outdoors, away from structures, and monitoring the temperature closely.
