Summer Fire Safety Tips

Around the Grill

Before grilling, roll up sleeves and use oven mitts. Loose-fitting clothes can touch a hot grill and catch on fire.

Always stay by the grill when cooking. Your grill may stay hot for a long time. Keep children and pets away.

Keep grills at least ten feet away from other objects, including the house and any shrubs or bushes.

Around the Yard

It is best not to keep any gasoline at home. If you must keep some for your lawn care needs, use a special safety container.

If you can, keep the container in an outdoor shed away from your home. Close all the openings.

Never bring or use gasoline indoors. Use it as a motor fuel only.
