**Planning to Fire Up the Grill This Summer?**
**A Friendly Reminder from Dubuque Fire Department (DFD): Keep Your Grill Away from the House!**
As summer approaches, the risk of fires increases due to grills being positioned too close to homes, deck railings, or fences. Remember, grills can reach extremely high temperatures, and it only takes a moment for flames to ignite nearby materials.
**Grill Smart:**
– 🏠 Set up away from the house, railings, and anything that can burn
– 🔥 Keep it out from under overhangs and awnings
– 👀 Never leave it unattended while it’s on
Give your grill plenty of space and enjoy a safe, delicious summer!
