Deer River residents can minimize the risk of fire damage by following these grilling safety tips from the NFPA:

Propane and Charcoal Grills

• Propane and charcoal barbecue grills should only be used outdoors
• The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches
• Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill
• Never leave your grill unattended

Propane Grills

·      Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year

·      Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose

·      A propane leak will release bubbles
