Reviewed by Todd Vandersline / LBNYlocal.org

The Long Beach Fire Department in Long Beach, NY is urging residents to practice safe grilling habits this summer to prevent fires. The LBFD advises keeping grills at least 10 feet away from buildings, avoiding grilling on covered patios or balconies, clearing the area around the grill of anything flammable, and cleaning the grill after each use to reduce grease buildup. In case of a grill fire, individuals are advised to close the top, turn off the propane if safe to do so, and call 516-889-7800 or 911.
