As we approach the warm weather season, things start to get extremely dry which makes fires more likely to occur. One of the most popular things to do on nice hot sunny days is to BBQ! SERVPRO of Tacoma wants to help you prevent any fire occurring from improper BBQ preparation. Here are a few tips to assist you in staying safer on those fun sunny days:

1. Grill outside only – indoor BBQs are extremely unsafe and can lead to a fire within your home.
2. Choose a good and safe location for your BBQ to be at (level, clear of any loose hanging objects, and away from your house.
3. Teach your children to stay away from the BBQ to prevent any accidents.
4. Proper clean up. Make sure if you’re using charcoal is properly soaked before disposing, cleaning your grill of any debris and grease before putting it away.
