94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The summer season is beginning, and as you head outside to enjoy the warmer weather, if grilling is part of your summer traditions make sure you are taking precautions to reduce fire risks.
“Make sure when you’re grilling, propane and charcoal barbecue grills should only be used outside, not in a garage or the carport, and never leave your grill unattended,” said Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane. “We tell people, especially if you have kids and pets in the area, just leave a three-foot space, just like we tell people in the kitchen around the stove.”
Don’t forget that the grill will stay hot for some time after you are done cooking, so keep the three-foot barrier in mind for that period as well.
Keep the grill out from underneath overhangs, deck railings, tree branches, and other hanging objects.
“We tell people at least 10 feet away from the home or any structure, just to make sure for safety there,” Crane said. “Remember that in the cities, the fire code technically says that gas and charcoal grills are not allowed on balconies of apartment buildings, balconies and decks, so make sure you’re aware of that before you go purchase that really expensive Blackstone grill and then you’re told by the fire marshal that you can’t have it.”
Keep your grill clean throughout the season to prevent the buildup of grease.
“You have to be careful because it will over time,” Crane said. “It will build up and it could have the potential of a flash fire, so that would be something you want to avoid. Make sure that when you’re lighting your gas grill, always make sure to check the hoses, the connections, for leaks with a soap and water solution. It’ll bubble if it’s leaking, and then always make sure when you’re lighting your gas grill to make sure that the lid is open so there isn’t that buildup of propane before you ignite it.”
If you are using a charcoal grill, make sure you only use charcoal lighter fluid, and make sure the coals cool before disposing of them.
