Dana shares practical fire safety wisdom, including why Thanksgiving is the number one day for kitchen fires and how improper use of turkey fryers can spark instant disasters. She highlights the three most common home fire hazards — the kitchen, laundry room, and garage — and offers clear guidance on prevention.

We also discuss how families can avoid panic during emergencies. Dana explains the importance of muscle memorythrough regular fire escape drills, the role of smoke detectors, and safe practices with candles — including alternatives like battery‑operated lights or mindful placement of open flames during religious ceremonies.

Beyond safety, Dana reveals how firefighters train with mindful breathing and awareness to preserve energy, strengthen focus, and make better decisions under pressure. She also reminds us that the holiday season can heighten feelings of depression, and encourages anyone in crisis to reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, available 24/7.

This episode blends practical fire safety with mindfulness, offering tools to protect your home, your family, and your well‑being.
