 Slideshow: Gas grill safety tips before you start grilling

 

 
NFPA Safety Tips
dot Propane and charcoal BBQ grills must only be used outdoors. If used indoors, or in any enclosed spaces, such as tents, they pose both a fire hazard and the risk of exposing occupants to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation.
dot Position the grill well away from siding, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
dot Place the grill a safe distance from lawn games, play areas and foot traffic.
dot See all safety tips.

 

Fire in the grill, under hot dogs and burgers, is a welcome sight at the family cookout. But fire anywhere else can make your summer kick-off barbecue memorable for all the wrong reasons.

 

Facts & figures

  • In 2005, gas and charcoal grills caused 3,400 structure fires and 4,900 outdoor fires in or on home properties, resulting in a combined direct property loss of $137 million.
  • Gas grills have a higher fire risk than charcoal grills; leaks and breaks are the leading cause, accounting for two-fifths (41%) of the gas grill structure and outdoor fires.
  • Gas-fueled grills caused an estimated 2,800 home structure fires and 4,400 home outdoor fires in 2005.
