Grilling burgers on the grill

We made it – yes winter is long gone and now it’s time to kick off sweet summertime with family and friends this Holiday weekend. That means grilling and chilling but lets all put on our safety hats before the festivities begin!

Three out of five households own a gas grill – unfortunately, about 8,900 home fires occur each year as a result of gas grills. If you have a grill master in your home, they may think they have everything under control but its more often an equipment malfunction that causes a fire to happen, more so if you haven’t been firing up the grill int the winter months.   Check your grill for propane leaks – only use grills outside in a well-ventilated area – secure your grill on a flat solid surface. Remember your grill is not an oven so never leave it unattended. Keep your home safe this holiday season and welcome summer safely!
