Join the NFD for Turkey Frying Demonstration
Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, followed by the day before Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and Christmas Eve, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). These fires can grow and become out of control quickly.
To illustrate how a fire can start, spread, and damage property, the personnel at the Nashville Fire Department Training Academy will deep fry a turkey the wrong way. The mission is to show what can go wrong, so everyone does their best to do things right this holiday season when cooking.
Media who would like to attend please RSVP via email no later than Tuesday, November 17th at 4:00 pm.
