Don't leave your grill unattended because fires can double in size every minute!

Warm temperatures are finally beginning here in East Erie County and with Spring “springing” upon us, it’ll only be a manner of time before we start the grilling season. We at SERVPRO can’t wait to start grilling some burgers in the warm temperatures, but be sure to follow these fire safety tips to avoid any fire damage while grilling.

1. Keep your grill at least 10 feet away from your home and avoid having any decorations near the grill. Keeping items clear of the grill will help ensure that the flame from the grill doesn’t spread.
2. Clean grease and fat from your grill regularly. Giving your grill a regular cleaning will prevent buildup of these flammable materials.
3. If your grill is a gas grill, check for gas leaks. Cover the gas hoses in soapy water and check for bubbles forming in the soap.
4. Keep a fire extinguisher near your grill in case of an emergency.
5. Never leave your grill unattended

These tips should help you have a safe grilling season. Enjoy those burgers and hot dogs!
