		BARBEQUE SAFETY Beware when you barbecue. In 2002 alone there were 4,400 reported home fires involving gas or charcoal grills in the U.S., leading to $30 million in direct property damage, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). •  When using barbecue grills on decks or patios, be sure to leave sufficient space from siding, eaves and overhanging branches. •  Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use. Do not leave it unattended. •  Keep children and pets away from the grill area: declare a three-foot “safe zone” around the grill. •  With charcoal grills, only use charcoal starter fluids designed for barbecue grills and do not add fluid after coals have been lit. •  With gas grills, be sure that the hose connection is tight and check hoses carefully for leaks. Applying soapy water to the hoses will easily and safely reveal any leaks. •  Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and have the grill repaired by a professional, if necessary. •  NEVER use grills indoors or in any enclosed area. Not only is this a fire hazard, it can expose people to toxic gases and potential asphyxiation.
