Keep your grill game safe this summer!

Having a Summer BBQ?

Grilling is a popular way to enjoy the summer season with family and friends, but grill fires can start easily and spread very quickly. While you may be excited to fire up the grill, it is important to remember that nearly 9,000 fires a year involve grilling. Five out of six of these reported fires involved gas-fueled grills.  

Here are 8 tips for safe grilling practices to make sure the grill is the only thing going up in flames this summer: 

• Only use your grill outside 

• Place your grill away from your home (at least 10 feet away) 

• Make sure your grill is on a flat surface 

• Check your grill for leaks 

• Always clean your grill, including grease traps 

• Do not leave your grill unattended 

• Wear appropriate clothing 
• Keep fire extinguisher near by 

Following these charcoal and gas grill safety tips and having the right protection will help you and your family enjoy a safe grilling season all summer long.
