π₯ Backyard grilling is a Michigan summer staple - but a few simple habits can go a long way toward keeping things safe.
Keep your grill at least ten feet from your home, deck railings, and any overhanging branches. Never leave it unattended, and always have a way to extinguish a fire nearby. Let coals cool completely before disposal, and give your grill a cleaning before the season kicks off.
If a fire does get out of hand, your homeowners policy typically covers sudden and accidental fire damage - but limits and exclusions vary. Contact Insurance One and we will make sure you are covered before you fire things up this summer. ππ‘
