From YouTube: How to Fry a Turkey with Charlotte Fire

Description

Charlotte Fire Department Station 42 demonstrates how to safely fry a turkey. We wish you a safe and happy holiday season. (A full transcript is available below.)

35% of fires in Charlotte start in the kitchen.
Be safe this holiday season.
Especially when frying a turkey.
Use an outdoor fryer at least 10 feet from buildings and never fry a turkey on your deck.
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Never fill a fryer above the max fill line.
Overfilling is the leading cause of fryer fires.
Make sure the turkey is completely thawed and dry before it’s slowly lowered into hot oil.
Also, keep at least 2 feet between the tank and fryer when using a propane-fueled fryer.
Never leave it unsupervised.
Wear closed-toe shoes and long sleeves while frying a turkey.
Hot liquids account for more burn injuries than fire.
Children and pets should never be allowed near fryers.
And remember, oil fires cannot be put out with water.
Make sure an ABC fire extinguisher is nearby.
On behalf of the Charlotte Fire Department, Fire Station 42 and Academy Sports + Outdoors, have a safe and happy holiday season.
