Happy Thanksgiving Fire Safety

 November 25, 2021

The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially at Thanksgiving. Kids love to be involved in holiday preparations. Safety in the kitchen is important, especially on Thanksgiving
Day when there is a lot of activity and people at home.

Did you know?

Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment. 

  • Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the
    stovetop so you can keep an eye on the food.
  • Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check
    on it frequently.
  • Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be
    hot and kids should stay 3 feet away.
  • Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids.
    The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee
    could cause serious burns.
  • Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys,
    pocketbooks or bags.
  • Keep knives out of the reach of children.
  • Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee
    maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the
    counter within easy reach of a child.
  • Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of
    children — up high in a locked cabinet.
  • Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.
  • Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them
    by pushing the test button.

Have activities that keep kids out of the kitchen during this busy time. Games, puzzles or books can keep them busy. Kids can get involved in Thanksgiving preparations with
recipes that can be done outside the kitchen.

If you look to your right going from Main Street to Atlantic over the Little St Bridge, you'll see it. I'm 75. When I was young, we could swim under there. Walk the trestle too hoping no train came. The lake filled in tho so that part of lake Matawan is only small creek now. The kids used to jump off the Little St Bridge, (some more than once). Our presumed off the trestle.

Where’s exactly was this ? Hope everyone is okay !

Do we know what caused the fire yet? 💯%

Great work!

Good work. And thank you from a retired 29-2990. Also I grew up on the block near the tracks near lake. And I think it’s a shame it was left to be destroyed. I know that New Jersey transit owns it and they gave a fight when MONMOUTH county wanted to connect The Henry Hudson Trail.

In case you're not familiar with where in Matawan this occurred, use "42 Park Ave" as a reference on Google Maps, and look at the aerial view. The train trestle is just beyond the usable part of the Henry Hudson Trail where it ends at Stillwell St/Water St.

My moms house was about 500 ft up on 1st street and lake Blvd. thank goodness no wind 🌬️.
