RAISE YOUR BBQ IQ

This Friday is July 4, and people everywhere will be firing up their grills. OEM reminds New Yorkers to barbecue safely this Independence Day.

  • Never use a propane grill on a balcony, terrace, or roof.
  • Only use a charcoal grill on a balcony or terrace if there is a 10-foot clearance from the building.
  • Only use barbecue lighter fluid to start a fire.
  • Never wear loose-fitting clothes that could catch on fire when using the grill.
