Ask the local fire department how they feel about turkey frying season ;)

I think I'd have to have at least two hours to listen to the answer, and it probably wouldn't be good for their blood pressure. If people would just follow BASIC safety precautions, like not throwing ice cubes in the hot oil, not frying the turkey in the house OR the garage, it really wouldn't be a problem, but every year, a couple of idiots burn down their houses.

I had a coworker who got up extra early on TG morning to start frying the turkey....
under the carport,
next to the house with plastic siding,
on a windy morning...

And after he dropped the bird, he remembered he needed something from the store....

So he left his sleeping family and an unattended turkey in a vat of hot oil with an open flame.

And came home to a house about to catch on fire,
a melted power line and a spouse ready to kill him.
