Holiday Safety Tip!

Swap open-flame candles for battery-operated candles this season. They’re just as festive — and a whole lot safer.

Wishing you a bright and safe holiday from TMFR!

It’s December, and that can only mean one thing! As we bring the holiday spirit into our homes, we also want to remind everyone about Christmas tree safety. A dry tree can ignite in seconds, turning a joyful season into a dangerous one.

Kitchen safety tip for Thanksgiving!

If a grease fire starts in your pan, don’t use water — it will make the flames explode. A few simple steps can keep your family safe and your Thanksgiving dinner on track.

Don’t leave cooking unattended, and have a wonderful holiday! 🧡👨‍🍳🔥

As Thanksgiving approaches, please remember that turkey fryers can be extremely dangerous. Hot oil, open flames, and unpredictable weather are a risky mix.

Let’s keep our celebrations safe and fire-free this holiday season!

As we head into Thanksgiving season, our kitchens get busier — and so do reports of cooking and kitchen fires. The biggest cause? Unattended cooking.

Let’s keep our homes, our families, and our holiday celebrations safe. 🦃Stay vigilant and don’t leave your cooking unattended!
