Baltimore City Fire Department Offer Help to 
Prevent outdoor Grilling fires!

As we prepare for grilling season, the members of BCFD would like you to have a fun, yet safe holiday. While doing so, it's important to remember the following safety tips when grilling at home:

• Grills are to be used only outdoors, away from siding and deck railings
• You should clean grills often and remove grease or fat build-up
• Make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting
• Have a 3-foot safe-zone around grills and keep kids and pets away from the area
• Dispose of charcoal after they have cooled in a metal can
• Never leave grills, fire pits and patio torches unattended
