(Pittsburgh, PA) According to a release from Nicole Roschella from the American Red Cross, 44% of all home fires in the United States are caused by cooking fires, which in turn, has produced an average of 158,400 home fires each year. Roschella also states some tips that the American Red Cross provides to not cause a fire on Thanksgiving:

• Use a timer to remind yourself that the stove or oven is on. 
• Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you must leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove. 
• Avoid wearing loose clothing or dangling sleeves while cooking. 
• Keep kids and pets at least three feet away from cooking areas. 
• Keep anything that can catch on fire — potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper or plastic bags, food packaging, and towels or curtains — away from your stove top and oven or any other appliance that generates heat. 
• Clean cooking surfaces on a regular basis to prevent grease buildup. 
• Consider purchasing a fire extinguisher to keep in your kitchen. 
• Always check the kitchen before going to bed or leaving home to make sure all stoves, ovens and small appliances are turned off.

(Pittsburgh, PA) As Thanksgiving approaches here in Pennsylvania and beyond, travelers are ready to get away to see those they love, and according to the Transportation Security Administration, more than 2.8 million people will be traveling today. Airlines in Pennsylvania and beyond are experiencing new offers to customers that cause refunds to be made automatically because of a rule from the Department of Transportation that was made at the conclusion of October. If the cancellation of a flight occurs or there is a delay lasting several hours, there will be an immediate refund to the traveler with no paperwork required. Delays of three hours for a domestic flight to six hours for an international flight count as well as a connection to a flight being given to the original flight. These refunds also cover luggage being late as well, with twelve hours late being the set point for a domestic flight, while refunds occur when baggage appears within a range of fifteen to thirty hours late.

(Aliquippa, PA) In Aliquippa this month, there have been a bunch of fires happening that are trying to be stopped by police. According to Aliquippa Police Chief John Lane, about a year ago, there were six fires that were identified. A woman that did not want to reveal her identity said that a West Aliquippa circuit board business owned by her husband was burned down by a suspect on November 14th and that same person caused the other fires in Aliquippa. This woman was also aware that there were thirteen buildings that also caught fire, and two days before it occurred, the suspect stole things that were large after breaking into the building since the person was living there. The investigation continues regarding these incidents of fires.

(Harrisburg, PA) The administration of Governor Josh Shapiro met with the Linglestown Fire Company  as well as both the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and the Office of the State Fire Commissioner on Friday to remind Pennsylvanians that fire safety precautions during Thanksgiving should be taken seriously. Pennsylvania State Fire Commissioner Tom Cook talked about some tips that can help you to be safe when preparing a meal and to not cause a fire during Thanksgiving, which included possessing a working fire extinguisher and smoke alarm away from the area, set timers ahead of time, do not exit the kitchen when cooking food, as well as turning the burners off or to let someone else take your place after you leave. Some other tips from Cook were to let children and pets stay away from places where cooking occurs and surfaces that are hot, when deep-frying a turkey, follow safe instructions for use, and put a lid over a pot on fire or use a fire extinguisher instead of water to stop the fire.
