Thanksgiving Day: Residential Structure Fires. U.S. Fire Administration Topical Fire Research Series, Volume 3, Issue 1, November 2002

Thanksgiving Day fires in residential structures cause more property damage and claim more lives than residential structure fires on other days. Surprisingly, fire injuries in residences decrease on Thanksgiving Day. Cooking is by far the leading cause of residential structure fires on Thanksgiving Day (42%), nearly double that of a normal day. The leading factor in the ignition of residential cooking fires is food left unattended.
