In preparation for Thanksgiving, Councilman Terence McSweeney partnered with Suffolk County Legislator Tom Donnelly and the Deer Park Fire Department to teach residents the dos and don’ts of frying a turkey. Thanksgiving is the number one day for cooking equipment home fires; therefore, and the demonstration conveyed what can go wrong if a turkey is not properly prepared before being fried.
Don Lynch of Suffolk County Fire Rescue & Emergency Service (FRES) and Town of Babylon Fire Marshal Anthony Cardali were on-hand to demonstrate the proper and improper ways to fry a turkey and the Deer Park Volunteer Fire Department was on hand to safely extinguish the fire caused by the improper blaze.
