Grilling Safety Tips
Cooking, including grilling, is the number one cause of fires in the nation. The Maple Grove Fire Department has tips to make your next barbecue safer, including setting up your grill at least 10 feet away from any structures that can burn, keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from your grill, check your propane connections for leaks on gas grills, and for charcoal grills soak the charcoal before you light the charcoal.
