But grilling is not the only summer fire danger lurking around our homes. From fire pits and bonfires, to the storage of commonly used hazardous items (propane, gasoline, pool chemicals and lithium-ion batteries), the best line of defense is always a strong offense. Fire safety starts with knowing the fire hazards that summer brings.
