Disaster averted – look what I almost forgot to pull out #DFT2013

OMG-look what I almost forgot to pull out

It would have been disastrous if I had dropped the bird in with this plastic pop top still in.

Double check your birds BEFORE you put it in the oven or deep fryer.

My list of safety tips for my Deep Fried Turkey is ready #DFT2013

So I got a list that I have printed up for ready reference.

  • Printed and ready, here’s my quick tips for my turkey frying.
  • Defrost your MoFo Turkey!
  • 3 minutes per pound.
  • Maintain temp at 350.
  • No mixing oils – only peanut oil!
  • NOT on your deck. Seriously.
  • Adults only!
  • No beverages…none.
  • If the oil begins to smoke, immediately turn the propane supply tank off and leave the pot uncovered to cool.
  • No exposed skin – only turnout/bunker gear.
  • And try not to set the house on fire.

(Although a gigantic fireball would be pretty cool)

MABAS Box alarm, reported working residential structure fire…

I better not screw this up.

Deep Fried Turkey should NOT be in the garage #DFT2013

Wait a second….who deep fries a turkey IN the garage?!?!?!

C’mon!

As a firefighter, an easy 1 3/4 line blasting away would be good.

Maybe attack crews should blast these guys too.

@rusnivek

Fryer on a deck!?!?! Are you nuts? #DFT2013

Clearly not paying attention to safety rules.

Check out these idiots who decided to use their deck #DFT2013

Do NOT fry a turkey on your deck.

Operation Turkey Drop…I mean LOWER #DFT2013

So just to be clear, tomorrow, I will be lowering my turkey in.

Air bombing the turkey into my deep fryer is NOT a good idea.

On a related note: I just checked my home insurance policy too.

@rusnivek

Get a fire extinguisher, NO candles, and stop twerking! #NATLPREP

Safety first!  #NATLPREP

Everyone should have a fire extinguisher at home.

Also, no candles…and again, no twerking!

Damn you @jimmykimmel
