fire — like siding, deck rail- ings, overhanging branches and vehicles. Always make sure it’s set up on an even surface in an open, well-ven- tilated area. And be mindful of the grill’s vicinity to dry vegetation, tablecloths and outdoor décor.
KEEP IT CLEAN
Before and after each use, inspect all parts of the grill for any needed maintenance or leaks if you are using a propane one. Remove all grease or fat buildup from the grill and the trays below it. And if you have a charcoal grill, make sure the charcoal has cooled down completely before you get rid of it. Char- coal and ashes can stay hot for much longer than they appear.

Use long-handled grill- ing tools to provide plenty of clearance from heat and

materials that resist burning and melting and can help prevent a burn injury. Also, make sure any loose articles of clothing like your shirt tails, sleeves or apron strings don’t dangle over the grill.
TAKE CARE AND CREATE A SAFE ZONE
Just like you would never leave the kitchen while us- ing the stove or oven, you should never leave a lit grill unattended. For an extra level of protection, keep children and pets away from the area by declaring a 3-foot “safe zone” around the grill to prevent any ac- cidents. Easily designate the zone with cones or by placing bright-colored duct tape on the ground. This ap- plies to bonfires, too.
BE READY TO PUT OUT A FIRE
Even if you’re following safe grilling or cooking prac-

should always be prepared with a fire extinguishing de- vice nearby, like the portable First Alert EZ Fire Spray. It’s easy to use — just point and spray — and features a famil- iar lightweight spray-can de- sign. Plus, it discharges four times longer than traditional extinguishers and the fire- fighting agent is nontoxic, so it won’t damage the grill or cooktop’s surface or the surrounding area and is easy to clean up after use.
By following these tips, you can help make any cook- out safe and memorable. Remember, if a fire starts and you cannot safely and quickly extinguish it, or a propane tank is involved in the fire, call 911 immediately and evacuate the area. To learn more about fire safety, visit firstalert.com.
