Grilling Safety Tips

Image of food on a grill: Grilling out this holiday weekend? Be sure to follow these simple tips so our duty crew doesn’t show up to your cookout:   • Keep it Clean: Clean your grill before use to prevent flare-ups caused by grease buildup. • Stay Attentive: Never leave your grill unattended. Stay close by and keep a watchful eye. And keep children and pets at least 3’ away from the grill area. • Safe Setup: Place your grill at least 10 feet away from buildings, trees, and any flammable materials. • Check for Leaks: If you're using a gas grill, inspect the hose for leaks before firing it up. • Use Proper Tools: Long-handled tools keep you at a safe distance from the heat and flames. • Control the Flames: Have a spray bottle of water and a fire extinguisher nearby to handle any small flare-ups. • Proper Disposal: Allow coals to cool completely before disposing of them in a metal container.
