Grilling Safety

Are you prepared to grill safely?

Post Date: 06/14/2019

Outdoor grilling is popular throughout the year. It’s important to be careful around the grill to prevent fires, burns, and property damage.

To keep you and your family safe while grilling, follow these guidelines:

• Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors.
• The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
• Keep children and pets away at least three feet away from the grill area.
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill.
• Never leave your grill unattended.
