Chip pan fires can kill 🔥 We recommend you try oven alternatives or use a thermostat-controlled fryer Thermostatically controlled deep fat fryers that plug into the wall are much safer to use #CookSafeGM

Jumping into open water can be fatal. Cold water shock and under-water currents can kill, and you don’t know what’s lurking beneath the surface. Don’t become a statistic, stay safe around water. #WaterSafety #DrowningPrevention #BeWaterAware
