Avoid A Fire, Practice Safe Grilling

• Grills should only be used outdoors.
• Make sure you place your grill away from building structures on a flat surface.
• Don’t grill around a lot of weeds, trees or shrubbery.
• Make sure you have a fire extinguisher on hand just in case.
• Do not leave the grill unattended.
• Make sure the grill is clean and that any fat or grease buildup is removed.
• If you’re using a charcoal grill, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never use the starter fluid on open flames.
