(WGGB/WSHM) — With Memorial Day right around the corner, State Fire Marshal Jon Davine is reminding residents to practice fire safety.
More than 75 percent of grilling fires in Massachusetts happen between May and September, so when it comes to grilling, he offered some advice to help ensure you and your family stay safe during the occasional cookout, including:
- Always grill outdoors
- A burning grill should always be attended by an adult
- Never use a gas or charcoal grill on a porch, balcony, or fire escape
- Create a three-foot circle of safety around the grill
