Spring is the season with the highest daily average of fires.

With the Springtime comes warmer weather. Finally, we can enjoy the warmer weather! Most families spend more time outdoors after winter is over and spring has come. According to FEMA, “Spring is the season with the highest daily average of fires.” One main cause of house fires when warmer weather begins is from grilling. The National Fire Protection Association states, “July is the peak month for grill fires (18%), including both structures, outdoor or unclassified fires, followed by June (15%), May (13%) and August (12%).” From these statistics, you can see that it is important to take special precaution while grilling outdoors. Make sure your grill is a safe distance from the home.
