Dear Friend, 

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. This week, we express our gratitude for the year's many blessings, reunite with family, and rest. However, we must also remain vigilant and ensure the safety of our guests this holiday season — no one wants to be stuck watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from an emergency room. I've attached some helpful public safety tips to help you and your family this Thanksgiving holiday. 

Holiday Food Safety 

Nothing spoils a Thanksgiving holiday like food poisoning. Proper food storage can sometimes be the difference between a satisfying feast and a doctors visit. An organized fridge can very well save a life. Review these tips from the USDA on how you can minimize the risk of food spoilage. Click HERE for more information. 

Turkey Fire Safety 

Turkey fryer fires cause an estimated $15 million in yearly property damage. If you have to use an outdoor fryer this year, read these helpful tips from FEMA to reduce the likelihood of a potential fire on your property.
