Grilling Safety Tips
Properly Clean And Maintain Your Grill
Leaks or hose breaks are the leading factors contributing to gas-fueled grill fires.
Keep The Grill At A Safe Distance From The House And From Other Flammable Objects.
Nearly 30% of home grilling fires start on a balcony/patio.
Only Use Lighter Fluid To Start A Charcoal Grill And Not As An Accelerant.
Gasoline or lighter fluid is a factor in almost 1/4 of the charcoal grill burns seen in ER’s.
Keep Kids And Pets Away From The Hot Grill.
Maintain a safe zone of at least 3 feet around grilling area.
Extinguish A Charcoal Grill By Closing The Lid.
Warm charcoal can easily re-ignite and start a fire while your family is away or sleeping.

I already shared this to my sister so she and her family can also practice these grilling safety measures. You should share this to your loved ones too.
