Turkey Frying Tips from the Bellaire Fire Department


Fried turkeys are delicious! When it comes to deep frying turkey, you want to take every precaution to keep your family and your home safe.  Before you set up your turkey fryer this Thanksgiving, remember these safety tips.

Stay at least 10 feet from the house
Keep children and pets away and never leave it unattended

Place the fryer on a flat, level surface
Make sure your turkey is completely thawed and dry (extra water will cause the oil to bubble and spill over)
Monitor the oil temperature (use caution when touching the turkey fryer)
Have a fire extinguisher ready at all times (multipurpose, dry-powder)
