Descriptions of moisture meters can be found in ANSI/IICRC S500 2006. The standard defines Moisture Meters as: “An electronic sensing device used to measure the internal moisture percentage of various construction materials, such as wood, gypsum board, masonry, etc.”

Penetrating meters work when pins or probes are inserted into materials and work by detecting measurable moisture levels.

Non-penetrating meters work by detecting moisture levels without penetrating the surface.

Some meters operate beyond detecting moisture, the measure surface and air temperatures; relative humidity including grains per pound, vapor pressure, calculate dew point and condensation risks.

Humidity probes on some devices can also be used in structural materials such as concrete, masonry and other building materials.

Some devices allows wireless on-site monitoring and moisture recording and then data can be downloaded to a computer.

With Infrared thermal imaging cameras can quickly scan and identify the full extent of water and moisture damage at a job site. It allows targeted dry-out efforts and monitor drying progress.

Moisture meters provide a reasonably accurate picture of how wet materials are and can be used to established drying trends. This is very important when drying is accelerated with the addition of heat.

“Thanksgiving is the one time of the year when the emphasis is on food, and it’s usually a meal prepared in a short period of time,” Paulk said. “Cooking takes place in kitchens for extended periods of time. Things are hot, things are spilled, something is left on the stove unattended — and those can be recipes for disaster.”

According to the National Fire Protection Association, Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires. Reports indicate the number of home-cooking fires on Thanksgiving Day was three times the national average for fires per day in 2009.

“With so much multi-tasking going on, fire hazards around the oven or stove top can easily be overlooked,” said Lorraine Carli, vice president of communications for the National Fire Protection Association.

She said cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and related injuries. From 2005-09, there were an average of 155,400 home fires per year that involved cooking equipment, according to a study by the fire protection association. The study noted those fires caused an annual average of 390 deaths, 4,800 injuries and more than $770 million in property damage.

“Everybody is trying to get everything done, everyone is frantic getting this big meal cooked,” Muscle Shoals Fire Marshal Donald Ray Coon said. “And when you get in a hurry, things can happen. When you’re dealing with cooking equipment, getting in a hurry can cause accidents.”

Paulk said one of the biggest concerns is allowing children into a kitchen where the stove and other equipment as well as dishes are hot. “Don’t let small children around a hot stove, and don’t leave stoves unattended,” Paulk said.

On Nov. 11, a 3-year-old Franklin County girl died from injuries sustained in a house fire. The state fire marshal’s office ruled the fire started from grease on the kitchen stove.

“And when a fire starts in a kitchen, it goes quickly because there can be so many combustible items there,” Paulk said.Coon said people who use deep fryers also need to be cautious.

“Don’t overfill the fryer with oil. Make sure you know how much to use,” he said. “If you fill it too full, then drop in the turkey or whatever you’re deep frying, oil can spill over onto the flames or burners and ignite.” Another problem Paulk said is commonly overlooked is the use of extension cords.

“This time of year people will misuse extension cords, they’ll have four or five crock pots plugged in to keep things warm and can cause an overload, which could lead to an electrical fire,” Paulk said. “Or, people will cover (the extension cords) to hide them because they look ugly. That can cause another hazard — when heat builds up, the wires can overheat and set combustibles on fire.”

Paulk said using common sense is the key to fire safety. “Don’t take risks, and watch for potential problems, that’s the key,” Coon added. “We’re just trying to make sure everyone has a safe Thanksgiving.”

Over the past year, our agencies have been working with the broadcast community, cable operators and programmers, and other communications service providers that participate in the Emergency Alert System; our state, local, tribal, and territorial partners; and other critical stakeholders to help inform all members of the public regarding the nationwide Emergency Alert System test.

Here are specific items we want everyone to know about the test:

It will be conducted Wednesday, November 9 at 2:00 PM EST.
It will be transmitted via television and radio stations within the U.S., including Alaska, Hawaii, the territories of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.
Similar to local emergency alert system tests, an audio message will interrupt television and radio programming indicating: “This is a test.”
When the test is over, regular programming will resume.
As we get close to the test, the FCC and all of our many partners are working together to spread the word to as many members of the public as possible — so people know what to expect when the test takes place, and no one is caught off guard. We’re asking everyone to join us by spreading the word to your neighbors, co-workers, friends and family — share this web page, post a message on your social media site, and feel free to embed our videos on your website or blog.
