Eaton Township Fire Department – May Fire Safety Tip
🚒 Monthly Fire Safety Tip Series

As part of our Monthly Fire Safety Tip series, the Eaton Township Fire Department continues to share practical reminders to help keep our community safe throughout the year.

With warmer weather here, many families are firing up the grill. This month, we’re focusing on how to enjoy outdoor cooking safely.

🍔🔥 May Fire Safety Tip: Grilling Safety

Grilling is a great way to enjoy the outdoors, but it can quickly become dangerous if proper precautions aren’t taken.

🔥 Grilling Safety Tips

Keep grills at least 10 feet away from your home, deck railings, siding, and overhanging branches.
Never use grills inside garages, enclosed porches, or near open windows.
Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from the grilling area.
Never leave a grill unattended while in use.
Clean grease buildup from grills and trays regularly to prevent flare-ups.

🔥 Propane Grill Safety

Check hoses and connections for leaks before using your grill.
If you smell gas, turn off the grill immediately and move away from the area.
Open the grill lid before lighting to prevent gas buildup.

🔥 Charcoal Grill Safety

Use only charcoal starter fluid—never gasoline or other accelerants.
Allow coals to cool completely before disposing of them.
Dispose of ashes in a metal container and store it away from structures.

🚨 Important Reminder
If a fire occurs and cannot be quickly controlled, get away and call 9-1-1 immediately.

Grilling safety starts with awareness and preparation. A few simple steps can help prevent fires and injuries.

If you have questions about grilling safety or other fire prevention topics, the Eaton Township Fire Department is here to help.

🚒 Monthly Fire Safety Tip Series

As part of our Monthly Fire Safety Tip series, the Eaton Township Fire Department continues to share practical reminders to help keep our community safe throughout the year.

With spring arriving, many residents are taking time to clean, organize, and tackle home projects. This month, we’re focusing on fire hazards that can arise during spring cleaning.

🧼🔥 April Fire Safety Tip: Spring Cleaning Fire Hazards

Cleaning and home improvement projects can unintentionally create fire risks if proper precautions aren’t taken.

🧼 Cleaning Safety Tips

Keep flammable cleaning products away from heat sources and open flames.
Never mix cleaning chemicals unless directed—some combinations can create dangerous reactions.
Store chemicals in their original containers and out of reach of children.

🔥 Home Safety Checks

Take time to test smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed.
Replace air filters in furnaces and HVAC systems to prevent overheating.
Clean dryer vents and lint traps to reduce the risk of dryer fires.
Check extension cords and power strips for damage before use.

🧹 Decluttering Safety

Avoid storing items near furnaces, water heaters, or electrical panels.
Properly dispose of old papers, cardboard, and other combustible materials.
Keep exits and pathways clear in case of an emergency.

Spring is a great time to refresh your home—but it’s also an opportunity to make sure it’s safe.
