The kitchen is the heart of most homes; especially at Thanksgiving. Kids love to be involved in holiday preparations. Safety in the kitchen is important, especially on Thanksgiving Day when there is a lot of activity and people at home.  The National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) offers some very basic tips for keeping your family and your home safe during the holidays:

• Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.
• Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently.
• Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot, and kids should stay 3 feet away.
• Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
• Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags.
• Keep knives out of the reach of children.
• Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
• Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet.
• Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.
• Make sure your smoke alarms are working.  Test them by pushing the test button at least once a month. 
• Ensure that all visitors to your home are familiar with the exits and your home escape plan.  It is also beneficial to practice a “fire drill” at home with your visitors; especially if your visitors will be staying the night. 

According to the NFPA, more cooking related fires occur on Thanksgiving Day than any other day of the year.  As much fun as it is to have younger family members helping out in the kitchen; it is often much safer to keep them occupied with activities like coloring, board games or other family activities. 

From the North Shore Fire/Rescue family to yours, wishing you the happiest, healthiest and safest Thanksgiving possible.  For more information on programs or services offered by North Shore Fire/Rescue, please visit our website, www.nsfire.org.  

All property owners are reminded that Glendale City Ordinance requires all public sidewalks and curb ramps to be kept clear of snow and ice within 24 hours from the time snow ceases to accumulate. 

After each inclement weather event, the City will inspect all sidewalks and curb ramps to ensure they are safely passable. If a sidewalk or curb ramp is not safely passable, a notice may be posted or otherwise placed at the property indicating the need to comply with the snow and ice removal requirement within a specific time. 

Upon re-inspection, any sidewalk or curb ramp not properly cleared will be cleared by the City with all costs and expenses, including administrative fees and/or ice and salt/sand costs, charged to the property owner or manager as a special assessment. Residents are also asked to help keep area fire hydrants cleared of snow to allow easy access in case of a fire.
