Thanksgiving is now only days away and soon many families will be gathering to celebrate. The chances are, you may be inside of a kitchen at some point during Thanksgiving – preparing meals or enjoying company. Before you spice things up, officials are urging you to keep your safety in mind.
“During the holidays, sometimes we have an uptick in calls and it can either be fire or medical related,” said Reidville Fire Department Chief Patrick Evatt.
From fires to medical calls, Chief Evatt said he has seen it all in the Reidville area during the holidays.
“Sometimes there’s lots of accidents from people having too much fun on the holidays,” said Evatt. “The biggest thing we do is we are here all the time and we are always ready. These guys train every day and they are ready to go.”
