Football is back and in full swing, whether it’s the Georgia Bulldogs, the Atlanta Falcons, or your favorite teams playing under the Friday night lights. With it comes the desire for neighborhood gatherings and tailgating, which can be fun when handled with the care and consideration necessary. According to research, 9-10,000 homes suffer from fire damage yearly because of mishaps caused by outdoor grilling.

Keeping the Fire on the Grill

The last thing you want to consider in the throes of the cooling temperatures of the fall is the threat of fire damage cleanup for your Dunwoody home. The best thing you can do is follow some helpful tips on safe operation and best practices for responsibly using your grill through this upcoming football season.

  • Keep Your Grill Clean – Any grilling professional will tell you that cooking on unclean surfaces is the fastest way to find yourself with a significant fire. Fat and grease deposits are highly flammable, so upkeep and maintenance of your grill become critical components in a safe operation during your next get-together.

  • Give Your Grill Space—Too often, you want to stay close to the action and excitement of those watching the game at your house, but the grill should stay back from the fun. When placed under the roof of your porch or near flammable awnings, a flare-up on the grill could spell disaster for your residence.

  • No Showboating – Just like in college football, excessive showboating results in a penalty. The price could be a rapidly spreading fire for you and your grill. While it might seem fun to douse burning coals with lighter fluid for dramatic effect, it is an unsafe practice that could be disastrous.

  • No Distractions – The game is down to the wire. The final minutes are ticking away on the clock, and you are too caught up in the game to remember that you left the grill still running when you unloaded the burgers and hotdogs. The same can also be said during the cooking process – forgotten grills can overheat and catch fire.
