Summertime is here and that means that the barbecue and grilling season is back in Georgia. While these events involve a lot of fun and entertainment, there is always the possibility of a serious accident or fire if you’re not careful. Here are some great grill safety tips to help you, your family and your guests stay safe and secure:
- Maintain a Safe Distance from Buildings – Grills become extremely hot and building materials such as siding and shingles as well as trees can all catch fire with relative ease if exposed to an open flame.
- Checks Hoses and Connections – Exposure to the elements can cause hoses to become brittle and connections to crack. Be sure to do a yearly maintenance check before starting the grill for the season.
- Keep an Eye on the Kids – No matter what physical precautions a homeowner takes, it is always wise to maintain an alert presence when using a grill around children.
