Please share these grilling safety tips to keep your community fire safe:
πŸ” Place your grill well away from siding and deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
🌭 Keep a 3-foot safe zone around your grill. This will keep kids and pets safe.
πŸ— Open your gas grill before lighting.
🍀 Keep an eye on your grill. Don’t walk away from it when it is lit.
🍒 Clean your grill after each use. This will remove grease that can start a fire.
πŸ– Place the coals from your grill in a metal can with a lid once they have cooled.
