 Hi, my name is Brian Marshall and I'm the fire and rescue chief here at Cal OES. As we go into the holiday weekend, Labor Day, where people spend time with their family and friends, I have a few barbecue safety tips for you. 1. Never take your barbecue inside the house. That's extremely dangerous. 2. Know where you're putting your barbecue before you light it. Do not put it under trees or under your eaves. The flames could cause your house to burst into flames. Also, make sure your barbecue is clean before you light it. The residue may flare up and cause a larger fire and that's something you don't want. Also, keep kids and pets away from your barbecue. Nobody wants a serious burn. As we go into this Labor Day holiday, it's also an important reminder that we're still in peak fire season. We do not need another devastating wildfire that destroys our beautiful California. Remember, be fire safe this holiday weekend.
