MEMORIAL DAY SAFETY TIPS!

This Memorial Day we honor the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. May their courage and dedication never be forgotten.

By following the safety tips below you can create a secure environment and enjoy peace of mind for your Memorial Day weekend.

  1. Children and pets should be several feet away from an open flame

  2. Grills should only be outside, but not under a covered porch or in an open garage. Grills should not be set against your house, deck, or fence

  3. Once on, a lit grill should never be left unattended

  4. Keep a fire extinguisher onsite and nearby when grilling is underway

  5. Clear any dry leaves or brush near the grilling site to reduce the risk of fire coming in contact with flammable debris if wind-blown sparks occur

  6. Secure loose fitted clothing when leaning over an open grilling area
