Homeowner Tip - BBQ Safety
BBQ season is upon us (for those of us that do not grill all year) and there are some small measures you can take to ensure safe grilling.
Many may not know that misuse of BBQ grills can often lead to significant damage to your home. Sometimes that damage is relatively minor, such as heat-warped vinyl siding or scorched wood siding.
Occasionally, carelessness can lead to full blown structural fires and serious threats to the home, its contents, and its occupants. Here are some simple things to remember:
Keep the hot BBQ far away from the exterior walls of the home, and not too close to combustible railings
Do not leave the hot grill unattended when children are present
To prevent grease fires, make sure you clean the grill components regularly
These simple steps will ensure a safer BBQ experience for you, your family, and friends.
