Enjoy Summer Safely!

Bar B Q Fire Safety

I am ready to grill and enjoy the tastes of summer! Please keep these safety tips in mind when grilling.

• Keep a 3 foot area clear on all sides of the grill...kids and pets, too!
• Locate the grill away from the house or any building, including anything hanging above it!
• Do not use under trees or shrubbery.
• Do not forget to clean the grease drippings and the grill itself, often.
• When disposing of any coals, please make sure you use a metal container and a lid, without anything piled on top of the lid!

Don't you just love a fire pit?

• Make sure your fire pit has a cover. It may be needed to extinguish the fire quickly and easily in the event of an emergency.
• Look around the fire pit before lighting it.  Make sure there is nothing easily flammable near it...piles of dried leaves, firewood, tiki torches and/or their fluid.
• Watch out for what you are adding to your fire pit.  Leaves, paper,magazines or cardboard can separate and send large fire filled pieces into the air, causing a fire elsewhere!
• Always be bear your lighted fire pit.
• Not a bad idea to have a fire exteiguisher and/or a hose with the water turned on, handy.

Enjoy your outside time this summer and stay safe!
