Avoid Getting Burned this Summer

Barbecue Fire Safety

Don't get burned hosting your summer BBQ's. Barbecues are common causes of fires during the summer. In order to maintain a safe area for you and your guest follow these guideline.

  • An adult should be in charge of a lit barbecue at all times.
  • Avoid cooking under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Keep matches and lighter out of reach of children.
  • Keep barbecues clean and ensure all gas hoses and connections are correctly fitted.
  • After using your BBQ, remove all excess fat so it doesn't become a fire hazard.
  • Check cylinder and hoses for leaks by brushing or spraying with soapy water.
  • Replac cylinders if they appear damaged or rusty.
