Are you getting ready to heat up the grill this summer?
Here’s a friendly reminder from the Dubuque Fire Department (DFD): Always keep your grill at a safe distance from your house!
This season, we often witness fires ignite due to grills being positioned too close to homes, deck railings, or fences. Grills can reach extremely high temperatures, and it doesn’t take much for materials to catch fire.
Grill safely:
🏠 Always set up your grill away from the house, railings, and anything flammable
🔥 Ensure it is not placed under overhangs
👀 Never leave it unattended while in operation
Give your grill the space it needs and enjoy a safe, delicious summer!
