Stay fire safe this summer! Follow these grilling safety tips from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Fire Administration.
- Only use your grill outside. Keep it at least 3 feet from siding, deck rails, and eaves.
- Keep a 3-foot safe zone around your grill. This will keep kids and pets safe.
- Open your gas grill before lighting.
- Keep an eye on your grill, fire pit, or patio torches. Do not walk away from them when they are lit.
- Clean your grill after each user. This will remove grease that can start a fire.
Place the coals from your grill in a metal can with a lid once they have cooled.
