Lima, OH (WIMA) - November is one of the highest months for cooking fires, most of which happen around Thanksgiving.
One of the biggest culprits is deep-fried turkey cooking.
The Ohio Department of Insurance says over 200 cooking related fires happened last year in Ohio, and there are easy ways to avoid fires.
Do not leave cooking unattended, keep deep-fried cooking out of the garage, have a fire extinguisher handy, and call 911 if a fire becomes serious.
