Grilling Safety

Outdoor grilling is one of the most popular ways to cook. But a grill can get very hot, making it both a potential fire hazard and a source of burn injuries.

Follow these simple tips and you will be on the way to safe barbecuing:

• Propane and charcoal BBQ grills must be used only outdoors, and away from anything combustible.
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease and fat buildup from the grills and in the trays below the grill.
• Never leave your lit grill unattended.
• Check your propane barbecue hoses for leaks with soapy water.
