It's barbecue season and you know what that means - more outdoor grilling with friends and family.

Here are some tips from the Philadelphia Fire Department on how to stay safe while grilling.

1. Keep the grill 10 feet away from wood railings, siding & never under loose branches or trees. Also keep a safe distance from lawn games, play areas and walkways
2. Keep matches, lighters and starter fluid out of reach from children.
3. Children should never be allowed to use outdoor cooking equipment. Pets also should be kept away from the cooking area.
4. It's very important to keep your grill clean. Grease/fat can catch on fire quickly.
5. Turn off valves while not in use and never leave the grill unattended.
