Safety important in preventing house fires from grills

The summer months are a perfect time for grilling, but they're also a time for safety.

The month of July - followed by May, June and August, respectively - are the most frequent times of the year for fires caused by propane and charcoal grills, according to a report by the National Fire Protection Association.

While more fires are caused by gas grills than charcoal, all grills carry some risk. About 8,800 house fires each year are caused by grills and nearly half of all injuries involving grills are caused by thermal burns. In 2012, nearly 17,000 people went to emergency rooms due to injuries from grilling, according to the NFPA.

The organization reminds the public that grills should only be used outside and well away from the home, deck railings, eaves and low-hanging branches. Grills should be attended at all times and children and pets should stay at least three feet away.

According to the NFPA , 27 percent of home structure grill fires started on a courtyard, terrace or patio; 29 percent started on a balcony or porch; and 6 percent in the kitchen.

"As friends and families prepare for a fun grilling season together, be sure the grill is working properly and review safety tips," said Lorraine Carli, spokeswoman for the NFPA. "Propane gas hose leaks or breaks were the leading factors contributing to gas grill fires. It's good practice to check for damage before using the grill for the first time each year, and to clean and check the entire grill regularly."

Leaks or breaks in the grill were factors in 20 percent of grill fires.

Founded in 1896, the NFPA educates the public on fire, electrical and building safety and develops codes and standards for reducing fire hazards.
