Bloomington Fire Department Promoting Safe Grilling

Grilling season is here, and whether it's hotdogs or hamburgers, a spokesman for Bloomington Fire Department is warning the public to watch out for grease fires.

 

Grease fires are the leading cause, but Frank Friend, the Public Information Officer at B-F-D, says you should watch out for many things.

 

 

As more than 9-thousand grill fires happen each year, the U.S. Fire Administration reports cooking fires resulted in over 37 million dollars in property damage last year. Data shows that, on average, around ten Americans die yearly from grill fires, and many more are injured.
