Grilling Fire Safety

Safe grilling is best grilling.

Summer is in full swing bringing cookouts, fireworks and hot dry weather. We want everyone to enjoy their summer to the fullest and to also best prepare you with some grilling safety tips to ensure that your barbecue goes off without a hitch.

Check out the following tips provided by fema.gov:

• 3 Feet: Only grill outside and keep it at minimum 3 feet from any siding, deck rails and eaves.
• Safe Zone: Keep a 3-foot safe zone around your grill to ensure that kids and pets remain safe.
• Open your gas grill before lighting.
• Monitor: Keep an eye on your grill, fire pit or patio torches while lit.
• Clean your grill after each use. 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.

Taking a few precautions will help create a safe environment for your summer fun. If you need more information on our fire and water restoration services, please give us a call at 254-224-5999.
