It can also be dangerous to start a gas grill if the gas tank is on, but the flame does not ignite.<\/p>\n<h2>Gas Grill Safety Tips<\/h2>\n<p>The following safety tips can help avoid gas grill fires <a title=\"\" href=\"#ftn5\">[5]<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Check your gas hose for leaks each year.\u00a0More information on how to check your gas hose for leaks can be found here: http:\/\/www.nfpa.org\/safety-information\/for-consumers\/outdoors\/grilling.<\/li>\n<li>If you smell gas, you should immediately stop grilling, turn off the grill and the gas tank, and if needed, call the fire department .<\/li>\n<li>Follow all manufacturer instructions when operating your gas grill.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Charcoal Grills<\/h2>\n<p>Charcoal grills account for a much lower percentage of grill fires, but are still involved in an average of 1,400 home fires each year. <a title=\"\" href=\"#ftn6\">[6]<\/a>\u00a0Most of these fires are caused when items are left too close to the grill and catch fire. <a title=\"\" href=\"#ftn7\">[7]<\/a>\u00a0This can be easily avoided by declaring a three-foot \u201csafe zone\u201d around the grill, keeping flammable items away from the grill, and always staying near the grill when cooking.<a title=\"\" href=\"#ftn8\">[8]<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another hazard associated with these grills is charcoal starter fluid.\u00a0 Be sure to purchase the proper starter fluid, and never use other flammable liquids to light a grill fire.<a title=\"\" href=\"#ftn9\">[9]<\/a>\u00a0It is also important to keep starter fluid away from children and pets, and to store it away from any heat sources.<a title=\"\" href=\"#ftn10\">[10]<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Grilling is a popular and fun summer activity, and following simple safety precautions can help to make it safe.
