Here’s a quick reminder for those planning their Thanksgiving Freas: Home fires spike on the holiday due to cooking mishaps, and one of the main causes is people deep-frying their turkeys. Done improperly, this can cause an explosion that seriously burns those near by, and it can also result in leaping flames that set the roof of your kitchen or porch on fire.
