Food and fire safety tips for Memorial Day
(WKBN) — This Memorial Day weekend, officials are reminding people to stay safe around fires. Many families will be grilling, but it can be dangerous if not done safely. You should keep your grill at least 3 feet away from your home and anything flammable. Check your grill for damage before using it. Never leave a grill unattended, and keep kids and pets away. Always be prepared and have a fire extinguisher or a water source nearby in case of flare-ups. Fire safety is also important for those camping and having a bonfire. 'You want to make sure that you have a good zone around that campfire where there's no burnable material,s so you want to clear out a good path at least 3 feet around the campfire with no kind of burnable debris in where it can't spread,' Fire Prevention Assistant Chief Paul Martin said. 'You also want to make sure that you're at least 15 feet away from any structures.' Martin says when having a bonfire to use pre-made fire rings to keep the fire contained and prevent it from spreading. And before you serve any food this weekend, remember some tips to stay safe from foodborne illnesses. Dietitian Teresa Eury says it's important to wash your hands before you start cooking. You should also wash your hands after you touch raw meat and clean any surfaces it touches. When grilling, make sure the meat juices don't drip onto other foods. And before serving, use a thermometer to check that everything is cooked to the right temperature. Eury also says to watch how long food is left out. 'The most important message that I would give out to those for Memorial Day is making sure you are being smart about your food preparation. It really, truly comes down to timing, keeping cold foods cold, hot foods hot, and making sure you're washing your hands thoroughly.' Eury says it's best to put leftovers in the fridge quickly so you can safely enjoy them later. If you're looking for a Memorial Day parade or other events happening in your community, check our list.

2 Your Health: Food safety tips for your Memorial Day cookout
Many people will be firing up the grill this Memorial Day weekend. But before you dish up your favorite cookout staples, there are some things to keep in mind to avoid food borne illnesses. 'The most important message I would give to those cooking out this Memorial Day is to make sure you're being smart about your food preparation. It truly comes down to timing and keeping cold foods cold and hot foods hot. You also want to make sure you're washing your hands thoroughly,' said Teresa Eury, RD, a registered dietitian for Cleveland Clinic. Eury stressed you want to properly wash your hands before preparing any food. You also want to wash your hands after handling raw meat and clean surfaces it comes into contact with. When grilling, make sure the juices from the meat aren't dripping down onto other foods. Before serving, use a thermometer to check that everything is prepared at the right temperature. Eury added that you want to keep an eye on how long everything is left out as well. 'If your food has been sitting out for more than two hours, it's probably a good time to throw that food out,' Eury said. 'If it's hotter than 90 degrees outside, toss any food that's been left out for more than one hour.' Eury said it's best to refrigerate food quickly after serving so you can safely enjoy any leftovers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Fundraiser launched for Bristol chef with £100k medical bills after motorbike crash in Thailand
Friends of a British restaurant owner who is stuck in hospital in Thailand after being hit by a motorbike are crowdfunding for his medical treatment. Ricky Eury, 39, from Hanham in Bristol, was crossing a road in the city of Phuket when he was struck by the vehicle, sustaining serious head injuries as well as fractures to his nose and ribs. Eury was in the country to train in Muay Thai boxing and to find new inspiration and ingredients for his business Gorilla Thai Kitchen, which has two sites in Bristol. Long-time friend of Eury, Harry Bradford, said that the fundraiser will help to remove "a level of stress and pressure" from Ricky and his family, with his medical bills already surpassing £100,000. While Eury's condition has improved with him having regained consciousness, he remains in Thailand as his condition means he is unable to fly back home due to the bleed and swelling on his brain. His insurance ran out the day he was hit, which means his family are covering medical bills which have quickly piled up. An online fundraiser set up to help cover his medical expenses has raised more than £30,000. However, the cost of his care has already surpassed that figure. Harry Bradford said: "He really wants to come home, that's his main priority at the moment. "He's feeling frustrated that he's stuck on the other side of the world. His son is here, a lot of his family are here, his close friends are here. "His life is here, his life has been put on hold for a number of months already and it's going to be a lot longer than that probably until he's back and fighting fit. "He's more positive that he's healing a bit better but he still has bleeding in his brain and swelling which needs to go down before he can get on a plane. "[Ricky]'s always been that person who talk to everyone and looks after those around him. "It's amazing to see the amount of people he's met that have come out to show support. It's a massive testament to his character."

Restaurateur critically injured in Thai bike crash
A restaurant owner has been left in critical condition after being hit by a motorbike in Thailand. Ricky Eury, 39, from Hanham in Bristol, was crossing a road in the city of Phuket when he was struck by the vehicle, sustaining serious head injuries as well as fractures to his nose and ribs. A keen Muay Thai fighter, Mr Eury was in the country to train and to find new inspiration and ingredients for his business Gorilla Thai Kitchen, which has two sites in Bristol. A fundraiser to help meet the large medical bills now facing his family has raised more than £20,000 in a matter of days. "It's been really heart-warming to see all of our friends and even people that we don't know coming together," Mr Wilkinson said. "He's one of those people – he just has friends everywhere. He's lived in London, lived in Bristol, comes from Devon, so everywhere he goes there's always someone he knows. "[He has] a really lovely community, which Bristol is known for, and he's just the kind of person who, if a friend was in trouble or something like this were to happen then he would drop everything and do everything he could to help out." Long-time friend of Mr Eury, Solomon Wilkinson, told the BBC he had set up the fundraiser to remove "a level of stress and pressure" from his family, who rushed out to Thailand after the incident on Saturday, not knowing if he would survive while they were travelling. Mr Wilkinson said the family had received a bill of around £10,000 for Mr Eury's treatment on Monday, with new bills expected every day. While Mr Eury's condition has improved and he has regained consciousness, he remains heavily sedated and his head trauma means he is unable to fully communicate with family and friends. This means his family are unable to access information about any insurance cover he may have, leaving them with the possibility of having to pay themselves. "I think it raises a wider concern about about being safe when you're far away from home," Mr Wilkinson said. "You never know what's going to happen and it's really important to let your friends and family know you have a plan in case something happens." Follow BBC Bristol on Facebook, X and Instagram.
