Destin Grillers Need to Know

Our Destin, Seaside, and Freeport team is trained and certified to restore fire damage by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). We have the training, equipment, and experience to restore fire damage “Like it never even happened.” Grilling fires happen every year. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 16,000 fires are started each year by outdoor grills.

Here are some grilling safety tips from the NFPA to keep you and your loved ones safe while enjoying the summer barbeque season:

Propane and Charcoal Grills

• Only use propane and charcoal barbecue grills outdoors
• Place the grill well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches
• Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area
• Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill
• Never leave your grill unattended

Propane Grills

·      Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year

·      Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose

·      A propane leak will release bubbles
