Thanksgiving is a time for family, food, and gratitude — and for many West Texas families, it also means cooking, traveling, or hosting guests. At Killebrew Insurance LLC, we want to help keep your home, vehicle, and loved ones protected this holiday season.
Here are a few helpful Thanksgiving safety tips to keep your holiday safe and stress-free.
1. Keep an Eye on the Kitchen (Fire Safety)
Thanksgiving is the number one day of the year for home cooking fires.
If you’re frying, roasting, or baking, stay close by and keep kids and pets away from hot surfaces.
2. Be Careful With Fryers
Oil fryers cause thousands of fires each year.
Never use one indoors, on a wooden porch, or near garages, fences, or vehicles. Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
3. Protect Your Home While Traveling
If you’re traveling from Midland, Odessa, or Lubbock this Thanksgiving, remember to:
- Lock all doors and windows
- Set your thermostat properly
- Unplug small appliances
- Keep valuables out of sight
- Let a neighbor know you’ll be away
4. Prepare for Busy West Texas Roads
Holiday travel spikes in our region — especially around oilfield routes and major highways.
Protect yourself by:
- Leaving early
- Avoiding distractions
- Watching for fatigued or rushed drivers
- Checking your tire pressure and fluid levels before you go
If you’re unsure whether your auto insurance fully protects you, we can review your policy anytime.
