It's grilling season again!

Keep the fires INSIDE the grill!

If you’re anything like me, you LOVE BBQ grilling.  There’s nothing as delicious as food that has been prepared on an outdoor grill.

As you get your grill and apron ready for another mouth-watering season, please remember these safety tips:

• Do NOT use an outdoor grill indoors. That includes the basement, garage, or any structure that can catch fire.
• Never leave your grill unattended. Accidents, such as pets or a gust of wind can cause the grill to tip over, and ignite nearby items on fire.  Also, keep young children away from grills.
• Clean your grill when an accumulation of grease appears. Grease fires start quickly, and can get out of hand just as quickly.
• If you are using charcoal, ensure that every coal is completely out before attempting to remove it from the grill.
• If you are using propane, make sure all fittings are secure before lighting the grill.
• Always have a fire extinguisher nearby, in case fire spreads outside of the grill.
• Place the grill where the smoke will not enter an open door or window. Smoke from a grill can stick to door frames, walls, etc, and then catch other pollutants.

Have a safe grilling season, from your friends at SERVPRO Bedford Park/Burbank!
