It's Memorial Day Weekend, and while we would love to be invited to your cookout, we don't want to come over because you had a preventable grilling accident. Follow these tips to stay safe while you're grilling this holiday weekend!

-Keep a safe distance. Keep your grill at least 10 feet away from any structures, including your home, garage, or trees. This prevents accidental fires and keeps everyone safe.

-Clean your grill. Before firing up the grill, thoroughly clean it to remove any built-up grease or residue. This reduces the risk of flare-ups that can lead to burns or fires.

-Stay attentive. Never leave your grill unattended while it's in use. Keep an eye on it at all times, especially if children or pets are around. A moment of distraction could lead to a dangerous situation.

-Have a fire extinguisher handy. Be prepared for emergencies by keeping a fire extinguisher nearby whenever you grill. Familiarize yourself with how to use it beforehand to act quickly if needed.

Grill safely and enjoy your cookout!
