Safety Warning BBQ

🔥 SMART ALERT: BBQ Safety Warning

With warmer weather increasing BBQ use, please take note of the following safety advice to prevent fires and injuries:

⚠️ Key Safety Points

·  Never leave a BBQ unattended while in use.

·  Keep children and pets well away from hot BBQs at all times.

·  Ensure coals are fully cooled after use – check there are no hot embers remaining.

🏡 Storage & Fire Risk

·  Do NOT store BBQs indoors or near buildings while still hot, as hidden embers can easily start fires.

·  Allow BBQs to cool completely in a safe, open outdoor space.

🌿 Environment Awareness

·  Be mindful of dry grass, vegetation, and surrounding materials that can ignite quickly.

·  Avoid using BBQs in high-risk areas, especially during dry or windy conditions.

📍 Public Use

·  If using a BBQ in a public place, ensure that BBQs are permitted in that location and follow any local restrictions.

🚒 In Case of Fire

·  Call 999 immediately and request the Fire Service.
