Additional Information: Citizens are reminded to use extra caution while cooking outdoors. Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. A propane leak will release bubbles. If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off both the gas tank and the grill. If the leak stops, let the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department. If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. Do not move the grill. If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait at least 5 minutes before re-lighting it. Ensure fire extinguishers are available, and if using a tent, make sure it is flame retardant rated.
