NFPA warns Thanksgiving peaks for cooking fires, with December seeing more decoration and candle fires. Tips include not cooking when tired, unplugging appliances, not using water on grease fires, turning pot handles inward, testing smoke alarms, avoiding indoor turkey fryers, and keeping children three feet from the stove. Use flameless candles, keep decorations away from heat, and monitor live Christmas trees with proper watering, lighting, and GFCI outlets.
