Frequently Asked Questions

turkey-fire-explosion-aftermathWith the Thanksgiving holiday rapidly approaching, the increased use of turkey fryers also increases the potential for accidental fires and/or burns related to this use.  As the attached document indicates, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) refuses to approve any of the currently availble turkey fryers due to the myriad of potential dangers these devices pose.  The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) also offer guidance regarding the use of turkey fryers.  Both documents also include common safety precautions for residents who decide to deep fry their turkey.  The documents can be cited by any department looking to issue warnings and/or guidance for the use of turkey fryers to the general public.


The link below will take you to the UL website where a video about turkey fryers can be viewed.
