The Memorial Day 3-day weekend is here. With the start of grilling season, take a few moments to review some fire safety tips to protect yourself and your guests from an unwanted situation, that’ll spoil the fun.
- Only use your grill outside
- Keep the barbecue away from the side of your house
- Keep a 3-foot safe zone around your grill, keep kids and pets safe
- Clean your grill after each use to remove grease, which can start a fire
- Place the coals from your grill in a metal can with a lid once they’ve cooled
- Open your gas grill before lighting
- Keep an eye on your grill, fire pit or patio torches
