(Undated) – As we march toward the “summer grilling season,” authorities are reminding you to stay safe. According to the National Fire Protection Association, fire departments went to an annual average of eighty-nine-hundred home fires involving grills, hibachis, or barbecues including thirty-nine-hundred structure fires and nearly five-thousand outside or unclassified fires. Children under five accounted for an average of 2,000 or 39%, of the contact-type burns per year. These burns typically occurred when someone, often a child, bumped into, touched, or fell on the grill, grill part, or hot coals.
