One of the top causes of fire damage in homes in the United States in May is related to outdoor activities and grilling. As the weather warms up, many people use outdoor grills, fire pits, or cooking appliances for barbecues, picnics, and gatherings. However, improper use or maintenance of these outdoor cooking sources can lead to fires, especially if safety precautions are not followed.

To prevent fire damage related to outdoor activities, residents need to follow these safety guidelines:

• Maintain a safe distance between grills, fire pits, and flammable materials such as vegetation, patio furniture, and structures
• Clean grills regularly to remove grease buildup and debris
• Keep a fire extinguisher nearby when cooking outdoors, and know how to use it
• Never leave outdoor fires unattended; always fully extinguish flames before leaving the area
• Check local regulations and fire restrictions before lighting fires, especially in areas prone to wildfires
• Educate family members and guests about fire safety practices when enjoying outdoor activities

By taking these precautions, homeowners can reduce the risk of fire damage associated with outdoor activities and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
