Holiday Safety Tips<br />
Christmas Trees<br />
Make sure the tree is at least 3ft away from any heat sources, while ensuring it is not blocking an exit. Never use lit<br />
candles to decorate a tree. Some Christmas lights are only for indoor or outdoor use. Connect no more than three<br />
strands of lights. Turn off tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.<br />
Turkey Fryers<br />
Propane-fired turkey fryers are designed for outdoor use only. Cooking oil is combustible, and if it is heated beyond<br />
its cooking temperature, its vapors can ignite. If it rains on the hot oil or the turkey/food being cooked is not fully<br />
thawed before cooking begins, then the result can be a splattering of the hot oil which can lead to burns and/or fires.<br />
Emergencies call 098-934-5911 for <strong>Kadena</strong> or 098-911-1911 for Foster.<br />
Civilian personnel section closure<br />
