This information was provided courtesy of the ICC Foundation and has some great tips, information, and advice about grilling safety. Enjoy!

1. Place the barbecue grill away from siding, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. It is also unsafe to use grills in a garage, porch or enclosed area that could trap carbon monoxide. Never grill on top of anything that can catch on fire.
2. When grilling, have a fire extinguisher, a garden hose or at least 4 gallons of water close by in case of a fire.
3.  Keep children away from fires and grills. Establish a safety zone around the grill and instruct the children to remain outside of the zone. A chalk line works great for this purpose. Never leave the grill unattended.
