The Illinois State fire marshal’s office is warning about the dangers of cooking fires this Thanksgiving. Spokesperson JC Fultz says while everyone is focusing on protecting themselves from COVID-19, families need to also remember oven safety. He added that turkey fryers should only be used outdoors and put out a reminder not to overfill the fryer with oil. Thanksgiving is the number one day for fires involving home cooking equipment, with four times as many as usually reported each year.
