Summertime is the peak season for grilling, and unfortunately, grilling fires. To help keep you and your family safe, is sharing important guidelines to make fire safety a priority when grilling this summer.

-Never wear loose clothing while cooking at a grill.

-Keep children and pets away from the grill area.

-Never grill/barbecue in enclosed areas - carbon monoxide could be produced.

-Propane and charcoal grills should only be used outdoors.

-Make sure everyone knows to Stop, Drop and Roll in case a piece of clothing does catch fire.

-Before using a gas grill, check the connection between the propane tank and the fuel line. Make sure the venturi tubes - where the air and gas mix - are not blocked.

-If you smell gas while cooking, move away from the grill and call the fire department immediately. Do not move the grill.

-Be careful when using lighter fluid. Do not add fluid to an already lit fire because the flame can flash back up into the container and explode.
