Our local Murrieta team has been restoring fire damage in Murrieta Hot Springs for years. We offer these barbeque safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) so everyone can grill safely this summer:

SAFETY TIPS 

• Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors.
• The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches.
• Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area.
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and putting it in trays below the grill.
• Never leave your grill unattended.
• Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it.

CHARCOAL GRILLS 

• There are several ways to get the charcoal ready to use.
• Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start the charcoal using newspaper as a fuel.
• If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire.
• Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources.
• There are also electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire. Be sure to use an extension cord for outdoor use.
• When you finish grilling, let the coals completely cool before disposing in a metal container.
