Thanksgiving: A Cornucopia of Potential Hazards

While this Thanksgiving holiday may be very different for millions of households, some things remain the same: Thanksgiving can lead to disasters.

There are more than three times as many home cooking fires on Thanksgiving Day as on any other day of the year. This makes it a very busy day for firefighters! The U.S. Fire Administration statistics show an estimated 2,400 residential building fires on Thanksgiving Day every year between 2014 and 2016, the most recent study.

Turkey fryer fires are an increased danger, and precautions should be taken when frying your turkey.

From fire hazards to food poisoning, make sure your homeowners policy is ready to protect you and your family on Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving insurance guide: Protection for fires, food poisoning and tipsy guests
Thanksgiving Day is a time to celebrate with family and friends, a chance to carve out some quality time to eat, drink and be merry. Unfortunately, it can also be a time of fires, slips and falls, or even food poisoning. If your feast goes foul, knowing what your home insurance covers will help.

Kate was so kind and thorough, got me excellent coverage and still got me a discount for car and homeowners insurance. She came through with all the information in a timely manner, before my bill was due. Highly recommend!!!

Absolutely wonderful experience! I wasn't sure what to expect as I have only ever gone directly through a company for insurance. I'm sad I didn't find Kate sooner. Everyone in the office was a pleasure to speak and work with. Also she got me more insurance for a lower premium than I was previously paying! She also found things in my insurance that could be increased for a very little premium increase (like $2 /6 mo) that I never would have known to look at. Highly recommend!

She came highly recommended and ensured that I understood every aspect of my policy by providing tailored recommendations for my comprehensive coverage. Her prompt responsiveness and genuine commitment to addressing my concerns were very refreshing. I highly recommend both Kate and Taylor at Ferri Dawson for all of your insurance needs.

I met with Kate at Ferri Dawson Insurance Group with concerns that my former auto coverage was too high and my home didn’t have enough coverage. Kate investigated over a dozen insurance options for me. And, after her work, I ended up with better coverage for both my home and autos BOTH at a substantially lower cost. Do yourself a favor and let FDIG help you with your insurance needs like they helped me.

Kate is very knowledgeable in her industry and took the time to explain my coverages to me for my new auto policy. Never had that before. Not only did she help me find the best fit for my current season of life, but considered long term goals. I am grateful for Kate and Taylor’s dedication and high caliber service. Highly recommend Ferri Dawson Insurance Group! Superb team and service. Thank you much!
