Every year, thousands of homes catch fire because of grills. Make sure your barbeque is risk-free:

• Before using, place your grill at least 10 feet away from other objects, including the house and any shrubs or bushes.
• Always stay by the grill when cooking.
• Only use starter fluid made for barbecue grills when starting a fire in a charcoal grill.
• Before using a gas grill, check the connection between the propane tank and the fuel line to be sure it is working properly and not leaking.
• Never use a match to check for leaks. If you detect a leak, immediately turn off the gas. Do not attempt to light the grill again until the leak is fixed.
• Never bring a barbecue grill inside your home or garage. This is both a fire and carbon monoxide poisoning hazard.
• Keep kids and pets well away until grill equipment is completely cool.
