Grilling is a popular way to enjoy the nice summer weather.  Grill fires can start easily and spread quickly. Learn how you can help keep your home safe with these tips.

  1. Only use grills outside: It may be tempting to set up your grill inside of your open garage, but they are strictly designed for outdoor use.
  2. Place your grill away from your home: You should avoid placing your grill outside the back door, or back deck because it can pose a potential fire hazard. 
  3. Make sure your grill is located on a flat surface: Grills that are placed on uneven surfaces can tip over easily and cause a fire. 
  4. Check your grill for leaks: A leak in the gas lines can cause propane to build up inside when the lid is closed. 
  5. Always clean your grill after use: Using your grill often causes grease to build up. The build-up can then act as fuel and catch fire.
  6. Never leave your barbecue grill unattended while in use: When a grill is left unattended it can become a safety and fire hazard.
  7. Keep a spray bottle on hand: It’s common for grills to flare up as fat drips, and this can cause a section of the grill to remain on fire. 
  8. Always have a fire extinguisher close by It is simple to use, just point and spray to extinguish the fire.
