🔥 GRILL SMART, RICHMOND.

Summer in Richmond means backyard cookouts, neighborhood gatherings, and the smell of something delicious on the grill. But before you fire things up, the Richmond Fire Department wants to make sure your cookout stays fun all season long.

Keep these grilling safety tips in mind:
🔥 Keep your grill at least 10 feet away from your home, deck railings, and overhanging branches.
🔥 Never leave a lit grill unattended, especially with kids and pets nearby.
🔥 Clean your grill regularly. Grease buildup is one of the most common causes of grill fires.
🔥 Check propane connections for leaks before each use. A quick brush of soapy water on the connections will show bubbles if gas is escaping.
🔥 Let coals cool completely before disposing of them, and never place them in a plastic or paper container.

From all of us at the Richmond Fire Department, have a safe and delicious summer, Richmond. We'll see you out there.
