Many people will
be firing up their grills this Memorial Day
weekend and throughout the summer.
With
grilling season set to be in full force, take time to review a few safety
tips from the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) to protect
yourself and your guests from a fire or burn injuries:
·
Only use
your grill outside;
·
Keep it
away from siding and deck rails;
·
Keep a
3-foot safe zone around your grill to 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 have cooled;
·
Open your
gas grill before lighting; and
·
Keep an eye
on your grill fire pit or patio torches.
Before
you fire up your grill, check out USFA’s animation on grilling safety.
