Grill Safety

May. 24, 2007
As warmer weather approaches, more and more people turn to grilling outside.  To protect the community, yourself, and common areas of The Townhomes at Red Hawk HOA please read through the following Grill Safety items. 
 
  1. No unattended grills.  It’s amazing how well individuals can react to a fire or damage to the building / fencing if they’re there to monitor the fire.  Conversely, it’s amazing how out of control an unmonitored fire can become.
  2. Proper Disposal of Ashes: We’ve all likely gotten in a hurry (impatient) and pitched the briquettes and ashes before they were entirely cool.  What a fire hazard!  Place the ashes in an empty metal container until they cool would reduce the risk of a smoldering fire developing.
  3. Keep the Grill Clean: A clean grill is far less likely to flare up than a greasy grill.  Regular cleanings can reduce the chance of a flare-up fire.
  4. Keep It Clear of Flammables: Keep the grill from the fences, the building, and / or any lawn furniture or other items in the yard would further reduce the fire hazard of a grill.  A Vantage Properties has seen fences "melt" and sides of buildings "smolder" in townhome communities where grills were placed too close to flammables. 
  5. Fire Pits: Owners within the community have previously requested approval of fire pits within the community which have been denied by the Arc Committee and the Board of Directors.  Fire pits do not allow for fires to be easily extenguished through closing off of the access to oxygen.  Also, ashes float easily from these pits which could start a fire within the community.  This ban was established as the health and safety benefits of doing so are substantial.

Many communities have banned charcoal grills.  Even though The Towhomes at Red Hawk HOA has not banned charcola grills as of this writing, it is highly suggested that you do not utilize them within the community.  This helps to keep risks down of ashes floating away and starting a fire.
