Most people have heard of the
3Rs of environmentally
friendly behavior-
REDUCE is to use less of something.
Use less water, turn off lights,
use both sides of a paper.
REUSE is to use an item again. Refi ll a water bottle, reuse a
container and buy reusable bags.
RECYCLE is to make new items from old ones; recycle
bottles, glass, paper, cans, plastic, cardboard & more.
T ip
Re-use candle holders
If you think a candle is done when the
wax is gone, think again! You can re-
use many of your old candle jars for
bathroom essentials like cotton swabs
and cotton balls. Some could even
serve as toothbrush holders. Use your
imagination!

Turkey fryer safety:
The OSFM agrees with the
National
Fire
Protection
Association in discouraging the
use of outdoor gas-fueled
turkey fryers that cook the
turkey in hot oil.
The use of deep fat turkey
fryers can lead to devastating
burns, other injuries, and the
destruction of property.
However, if you use a fryer,
the OSFM urges you to use
extreme caution.
“If you’re cooking your
turkey in a deep fat fryer,
always do it outdoors a safe
distance from buildings, deck
railings and any other flamma-
ble material and never leave it
unattended,” advises Walker.
“Hot oil is extremely danger-
ous; never use turkey fryers on
a wooden deck or in your
garage.”
More turkey fryer safety tips:
• Lower and raise food slow-

Driver’ classes
• Have a “kid-free zone” of
at least three feet around the
stove and areas where hot
foods or drinks are prepared or
carried.
•Always keep a lid nearby to
smother small grease fires.
Smother the flames by careful-
ly sliding the lid over the pan.
Turn off the burner and don’t
move the pan until it is com-
pletely cool.
• Never pour water on a
grease fire; it can splatter the
grease and spread the fire.
• In the event of a fire in your
oven or microwave, turn them
off and keep the doors closed.
• When in doubt, get out!
Call 9-1-1 after you leave.
Make sure you have smoke
alarms on every level of your
home, outside each sleeping
area and in every bedroom.
Test smoke alarms monthly
and replace them if they are 10
years old or older.

With Thanksgiving just a
few days away, State Fire
Marshal Jim Walker is remind-
ing Oregonians to keep fire
safety front and center when
cooking and preparing holiday
meals.
“When friends and family
gather at this festive time of
year, don’t let it be marred by
tragedy,” says Walker. “By fol-
lowing a few fire prevention
tips, you can keep yourself and
loved ones safe.”
From 2011 through 2015,
there were more than 4,000
cooking-related fires in Oregon
causing nine deaths, 228
injuries and more than $37 mil-
lion in property loss.
Cooking safety tips:
• Keep a close eye on your
cooking; never leave cooking
food unattended. If you leave
the kitchen, turn off the stove
or set a timer.
• Keep your cooking area
clean, including stovetop,
burners, oven and exhaust fan.
• Keep anything that can
catch fire — oven mitts, wood-
en utensils, dishtowels and
food packaging — away from
your stovetop.
• Wear clothing that will not
dangle onto stove burners and
catch fire.
• Keep pot and pan handles
turned inward on the stove to
avoid bumping them and
spilling hot foods.
• Heat cooking oil slowly
and never leave it unattended.
