Don't Forget About Grilling Safety!

What's July Fourth without a cookout? The Louisville, Ky. Courier-Journal offers these grilling safety tips:

- More grill fires occur when people dispose of their ashes, says Buster White, inspector with the fire department in Nixa, Mo. He recommends waiting three days before getting rid of charcoal coals and ashes. Place the coals in a noncombustible container to dispose of them.

- Do not move the grill inside the garage, next to the house or indoors. "If that grill is on, it's producing carbon monoxide," White says.

- Grill at least 10 feet from the house, and don't grill on a deck or balcony. 

- And of course, keep a fire extinguisher handy.
