INFORMATION FROM NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION TURKEY FRYERS NFPA discourages the use of outdoor gas-fueled turkey fryers that immerse the turkey in hot oil. These turkey fryers use a substantial quantity of cooking oil at high temperatures, and units currently available for home use pose a significant danger that hot oil will be released at some point during th e cooking process. The use of turkey fryers by consumers can lead to devastating burns, other injuries and the destruction of property. • Hot oil may splash or spill at any point during the cooking process, when the fryer is jarred or tipped over, the turkey is placed in the fryer or removed from the fryer to the table. • A major spill of hot oil can occur with fryers designed for outdoor use and using a stand as these units are particularly vulnerable to upset or collapse, followed by a major spill of hot oil. • In deep frying, oil is heated to temperatures of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or more and cooking oil is combustible and if heated beyond its cooking temperature, its vapor can ignite. • Propane-fired turkey fryers are designed for outdoor use. Particularly for Thanksgiving, time for rain and snow are common in many parts of the country. If rain or snow strikes exposed hot cooking oil, result can be a splattering of the hot oil or conversion to steam, either of which can lead to burns. • There is a new outdoor turkey cooking appliance that does not use oil. NFPA believes these should be considered as an alternative. NFPA understands that this appliance will be listed by a recognized testing laboratory. It is important to keep the storm drains clean. We encourage residents to: blow or sweep grass clippings and leaves back into your yards or put in Kraft paper bags for yard waste pickup. This will help the City comply with the mandated Storm Water Management Program. 2 OFFICAL RIVERDALE CITY COUNCIL MEETING Tuesday October 10, 2017 - Riverdale City Hall Mayor Sonya Paddock opened the regular session of the Riverdale City Council at 7:00 P.M. on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of our Country was given.
