The American Red Cross wants everyone to have a safe summer and offers steps they can follow.
When it comes to grilling food safety, grilling sparks more than 10-thousand home fires on average each year.
Always supervise a grill when in use, never grill indoors or any enclosed area, and make sure everyone, including pets, stays away from the grill.
Keep the grill out in the open, away from the house, deck, tree branches or anything that could catch fire.
And use the long-handled tools especially made for cooking on the grill to help keep the chef safe.
