Thanksgiving is the number one day of the year for home cooking fires in the U.S., and leaving food unattended is the leading cause. According to the National Fire Protection Association, cooking accounts for 80% of Thanksgiving Day home fires and 40% of related injuries.

Last week, after a fire tore through an apartment building in Freeport, NY — displacing 19 households, our Long Island volunteers stepped up to help open a shelter for two nights.

Screenshot of an online news article from LI Herald titled “Four hospitalized, dozens displaced after early morning Freeport apartment fire,” posted October 24, 2025. The article includes a photo of a three-story brick apartment building with multiple windows missing glass and showing fire damage. The entrance door is open, and some debris is visible near the base of the building. Headline and text describe the incident, mentioning hospitalizations and displacement of residents.
