Some tips to families for keeping their Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day celebrations free of fire-related accidents. - When barbecuing, families should make sure there are no leaks, dents, cracks, or corrosion in propane tanks and always light the match before turning on the gas.
- Grills should be positioned away from patio covers, garbage cans, or buildings that could catch fire, and cigarettes, matches, and lighters should not be used near the grill.
- When charcoal grilling, flammable liquids should not be used as starters and when finished, all coals must be completely cooled before disposal.
- People near the grill should not wear loose clothing or long sleeves, and children should of course be kept away from the grill.
- Children should always wear sunscreen to avoid burns, and shoes should always be worn in the sand; it can get as hot as 180 degrees and cause major burns to the feet.
