AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Doctors Hospital hosted its annual Turkey Fryer Safety Demonstration to highlight key tips for preventing burns and injuries during the Thanksgiving season.

Thanksgiving and fall can increase burn-related injuries, many of which stem from accidents involving turkey fryers and other cooking-related accidents.

The demonstration is an opportunity to educate the community about safety measures to ensure a safe and happy holiday season.

The event featured Dr. Shawn Fagan, a Burn Surgeon from the JMS Burn Center at Doctors Hospital, and representatives from the Richmond County Fire Department, who discussed turkey fryer safety and other Thanksgiving/fall-related burn prevention strategies.
