| Whether you’re cooking burgers, hot dogs, or steaks, it’s important to keep fire safety in mind. Grilling Safety Tips: ✅ Never leave a grill unattended while cooking. ✅ Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from the grilling area. ✅ Clean grease and fat buildup regularly to prevent flare-ups. ✅ Check propane tanks, hoses, and connections for leaks before use. ✅ Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. If a fire does occur, remember: Get everyone to safety first and call 911 if the fire cannot be controlled immediately. A few simple precautions can help ensure your cookout is remembered for great food and good company—not an emergency call. Stay safe and enjoy your summer! |
