Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers reminds everyone to take the following precautions when grilling this summer:
- Do not wear loose fitting clothing while cooking.
- Never, under any circumstances, should children (supervised or unsupervised) be allowed to start outdoor cooking equipment.
- Barbecue grills are not allowed on apartment building balconies or decks.
- Barbecue grills are allowed on porches and decks of one and two family homes.
- Never store a spare LPG (propane) container under or near the grill.
- Never store LPG cylinders inside your home.
- Always turn off the valves when not in use.
- When purchasing a gas grill, select one that bears the approval mark of an independent testing laboratory.
- Do not transport LPG cylinders in the trunk of a passenger vehicle.
- To guard against the possibility of damage or explosion, burners tubing, and piping should be clean and free from insects, dust and debris.
