During the summer, millions of Americans fire up their grills for a barbecue or family cookout. Life goes on, so you should be prepared for the unexpected. Here are some quick tips to stay safe during a cookout!

Tip #1: Fire Extinguisher

It is always a good idea to have a fire extinguisher near the grill or whoever is cooking. Sometimes food can catch fire and lead to a horrendous mess. Keeping a fire extinguisher will allow you to have a safer piece of mind. 

Tip #2: Keep A Clean Station

Cooking can always lead to a cluttered area on and near the grill. Flammable objects, such as napkins, can cause an accidental fire to spread. 

Tip #3: Keep Children Away From The Grill

Children are often curious about a lot of things. But do not allow them to apply their curiosity to dangerous things like the grill. Some good ideas to prevent children from getting hurt is baby gating the area and making sure that there isn't anything on the floor. This will prevent the kids from tripping while they are playing.
