• When cooking food, remain in the kitchen to monitor food on the stove and in the oven.
• Keep knives and sharp objects far out of reach from children and pets.
• Make sure smoke alarms on every floor are working. Test them by hitting the test button or follow the products’ instructions.
• Blow out any lit candles before leaving a room or the home.
• Maintain a clean floor so no one trips over bags, toys, or electronics.
• Do not drink and drive.

PGW wishes our customers and employees a safe, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving.
