There is nothing better than grilling out in the summertime. When you see fire in the grill, under hot dogs and burgers, it is a welcome sight at any outdoor party or family cookout. But if a grill is not managed properly, an unwelcome fire can turn your cookout into a catastrophe. Here are some tips for keeping everyone at the party safe while grilling: 

General Grilling Tips 

• Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors. 
• The grill should be placed far away from the home, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. 

• Keep children and pets away from the grill area. 
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. 
• Never leave your grill unattended
