Summer Safety Tips

Grilling

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 10,600 home fires are started by grills each year, on average. July is the peak month for grill fires.

Practice safe grilling by following these tips from NFPA and FEMA:

Only use grills outdoors and place them well away from your home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
Keep your grill and grill trays clean.
Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before starting it.
Keep children and pets away from the grill.
Never leave your grill unattended.
Keep a fire extinguisher near.
