That time is here school is out, the sun is bright, and we are ready to be outside! After a long winter cooped up in your house, your ready to bust out the BBQ and have your friends and family over! Some don’t realize when hosting these events your increasing your chances of a housefire.

Here is a list of helpful hints to keep you and your guests safe this summer:

• Make sure your grill is at least 3 feet away from other objects including your house, trees, fences, and outdoor furniture.
• Remember starter fluid should only be used in charcoal grills not gas grills.
• If you think your gas grill could have a leak, turn it off and fix it before use again.
• Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from the grill.
