There are some elevated fire risks that we see each year during Eid al-Adha.
Cooking and eating are very important parts of the festivities, so we’ve mainly focused on kitchen safety in our advice.
Cooking fires are the biggest cause of accidental fires in the home. These risks are even higher during festivals like Eid al-Adha. Preparing meals for larger groups of people and at different times of day can increase the likelihood of a fire.
We want everyone to enjoy Eid al-Adha and that’s why we’re asking you to be extra vigilant this year.
