Grilling: A Time for Fun and Precaution

6/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Just when you thought it was safe to grab your apron (and a beer) and head outside to the BBQ, the NFPA has come up with some precautionary facts designed to make us a little more vigilant and careful when enjoying this traditional backyard adventure. ​
  • In 2014, 16,600 patients went to emergency rooms because of injuries involving grills.       
  • July is the peak month for grill fires (17%), including structure, outdoor or unclassified fires.  Other high incident months include May, June and August.
  • Failure to clean the grill was the leading factor contributing to the fire in 1/5 of all grill structure fires (19%). In 17% of fires, something that could catch fire was too close to the grill.
  • Leaks or breaks were the leading factor in 11% of grill structure fires and 23% of outside and unclassified grill fires.
  • Gas grills contributed to a higher number of home fires overall than their charcoal counterparts.
