Two Days Before the Super Bowl

Friendly Reminder from the Fire Department

FRIDAY, 2/2/2018, TWO DAYS BEFORE THE SUPER BOWL LII

Sunday will be a day full of cheering, groans and a plenty of excitement all around. It's also a day that will be filled with food and tons of it! If you're like most folks across the country right now, even if you're not cheering for the Pats or the Eagles, Super Bowl 52 will still be a day for parties, the guest list and the ever-so-important menu for game day.

Did you know that Super Bowl Sunday ranks as one of the busiest days for food consumption of the year? From chili and burgers to spicy wings, decadent desserts, beer, and fancy cocktails, Super Bowl Sunday brings out the foodie in everyone. But with all of this food prep comes an increased risk for a fire safety "fumble" at home.

The National Fire Prevention Association (NFPA) reminds everyone to keep three basic cooking fire safety tips in mind when preparing for the big game:

• Keep an eye on what you fry
• Be alert when cooking
• Keep things that can catch fire away from cooking area

Remember, take just a few minutes to practice fire safety, especially in the kitchen, and it will go a long way to making your home a safer place.

Finally, our brothers and sisters in blue want to remind you that if you drink, please responsibly and make sure you have a designated driver.

Enjoy the game, everyone, and get home safely.
