Memorial Day is the traditional start of summer and grilling season. Please share these grilling safety tips to keep your community fire safe:
🍔 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.
🍗 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.
🍖 Place the coals from your grill in a metal can with a lid once they have cooled.
