Dos and Don’ts of Kitchen Fires

Basically, don't throw water on a grease fire. But it only showed what to do if a pan of grease on a stovetop catches fire. Seems a grease fire from a fried turkey would be a bit more complicated.

It is. DO NOT FRY TURKEYS INSIDE ON A DECK OR IN A GARAGE.

Fry them outside over grass or sand. Make sure there is no nearby dry vegetation. Keep a 5 gallon bucket of sand nearby just in case.

Do not try to hose it out and make sure to never let your grease get too hot or overfill it and make it spill over the edge.
