Tips for having a safe barbeque
Fire and Rescue recommends this simple safety checklist to assist you to have a safe barbeque.
Be aware of, and ensure that you comply with, any fire restrictions that may be in place such as total fire bans.
Ensure that your barbeque is serviced and maintained correctly including scheduled pressure testing of any gas cylinders and checking of the condition of all hoses and connections for any blockages or perishing.
Check the cylinders for rust or damage and ensure any connections are clean and fitting snugly before lighting.
Always site a barbeque on a firm, level base sheltered from wind gusts and well away from anything flammable like garden sheds, vegetation, fences etc.
Have a garden hose or similar continuous supply of water available at all times.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and use the correct start up and shut down procedures. NEVER put any flammable liquid on a barbeque.
Ensure that the lit barbeque is in the care of a responsible adult at all times.
Keep children away from any barbeque and remember to remove and secure any lighters and matches that you have used in lighting the barbeque.
Only use a barbeque in a well ventilated area as fumes and gases emitted may be harmful.
If a gas leak does occur, shut off the cylinder immediately and allow any gas to dissipate.
