Burnin' Down the House

Spring is here.  Time to tune up the lawnmower and break out the grill.  Before you fire up the grill this year, consider these stats on grill fires.

7,900 -  Number of home fires last year involving grills

11 - Average number of fatalities each year from grill fires

$61 Million - Total claims paid out in 2010 as a result of grill fires  

To protect youself and your family from a grill fire follow some of these simple steps:

Place your grill away from the house, deck, fences, overhangs, porches, and low hanging branches.  Never use the grill in a garage,indoors, or on a balcony.

Clean the grease tray regularly.  Remove grease build up from the grill after each use.

Keep children and pets away from the grill area.

Do not leave the grill unattended.
