Stuart Fire Rescue Message
Thanksgiving fire safety
For most, the kitchen is the heart of the home, especially during the holidays. From testing family recipes to decorating cakes and cookies, everyone enjoys being part of the preparations.
Keeping fire safety top of mind in the kitchen during this joyous but hectic time is important, especially when there’s a lot of activity and people at home. As you start preparing your holiday schedule and organizing that large family feast, remember, by following a few simple safety tips you can enjoy time with your loved ones and keep yourself and your family safer from fire.
Thanksgiving Fire Statistics
Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires with more than three times the daily average for such incidents. Christmas Day and Christmas Eve ranked second and third, with both having nearly twice the daily average.
Unattended cooking was by far the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths.
Cooking causes half (52%) of all reported home fires and nearly two of every five (36%) home fire injuries, and it is a leading cause of home fire deaths (17%).
On Thanksgiving Day alone, an estimated 1,610 home cooking fires were reported to U.S fire departments in 2022, reflecting a 399 percent increase over the daily average.

Top Safety Tips
- Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove top so you can keep an eye on the food.
- Stay in the home when cooking your turkey, and check on it frequently.
- Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay three feet away.
- Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
- Keep knives out of the reach of children.
- Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
- Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet.
- Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.
- Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags.
- Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.

FDOT PUBLIC MEETING
monterey road pd&e study kick-0ff meeting dEC. 4, 2024
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites the public to a Kick-Off Meeting for the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study Monterey Road at FEC Railroad Crossing, Martin County. A PD&E Study is FDOT’s process to evaluate the social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with a planned transportation improvement project. The purpose of this project is to enhance traffic operations, support growing transportation demand, establish more efficient system linkage, facilitate enhanced emergency evacuation, and improve the network of sidewalks and bike lanes to meet both social and transportation-related demands in Martin County, Florida.
The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. § 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated May 26, 2022, and executed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and FDOT.
The Public Kick-Off Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 4, 2024, both virtually and in-person.
Virtual: Persons who do not wish to attend the Public Kick-Off Meeting in person can join the meeting virtually at 5:30 p.m. To register for the Public Kick-Off Meeting, please use the following link https://tinyurl.com/montereyrdmeeting. You will receive an email with a link to log in the day of the virtual meeting. If using a mobile device, the free “GoToWebinar” application is required to attend. Please allow adequate log-in time to view the presentation in its entirety.
In-Person: The Public Kick-Off Meeting will be held at the 10th Street Community Center located at 724 SE 10th Street, Stuart, Florida 34994. The Public Kick-Off Meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m. as an open-house format.
The same information will be presented at both the virtual and in-person Public Kick-Off Meeting, so attending both is not necessary.
All exhibits presented at the Public Kick-Off Meeting can be viewed electronically on the project website www.fdot.gov/projects/montereyrd-fec-study.

Community feedback is at the core of all we do. FDOT works with the public to balance their community vision with the community's transportation needs. This is routine on all our projects to ensure Florida's infrastructure is safe, resilient, and efficient for many years into the future. Notices are being sent to all property owners and tenants located within at least 300 feet on either side of the proposed alignment and to other public officials, regulatory agencies, organizations, and individuals that have expressed interest in the project.
If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact the Project Manager, Robert Lopes, at (954) 777-4425 or toll free at (866) 336-8435 Ext. 4425, via email at robert.lopes@dot.state.fl.us, or visit the project website at www.fdot.gov/projects/montereyrd-fec-study. |
