Gas Grill Malfunctions Causes Fire in Miami Beach Backyard?
6/27/2023 (Permalink)
We spend lots of time outdoors in Miami Beach and many Miami Beach homes are equipped with outdoor grills and kitchens. All outdoor fuel-based equipment comes with fire risk, so before you grill, make sure your equipment is operating optimally. Our local Miami Beach team offers these gas grill safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:
Make sure your gas grill is working properly.
- Leaks or breaks are primarily a problem with gas grills. Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year.
- If your grill has a gas leak detected by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off both the gas tank and the grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department.
- If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and do not move it. If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait at least 5 minutes before re-lighting it.
