As the days get warmer and longer, the back yard once again becomes a place of enjoyment for both kids and adults. However, before the recreation and social get-togethers begin, make sure that your backyard is safe. Here are four common back yard hazards to look for and fix:
Propane Grilling Dangers
A propane grill has a tank containing a compressed flammable gas used to fuel a burner. Such a device should be safe unless the tank is damaged or is improperly used. Inspect the tank and its fixtures for dents, corrosion, and other signs of damage. Check the hose for leaks by spraying it with soap water and watching for bubbles. Look for signs of cracking and keep the hose away from hot surfaces. To avoid a dangerous gas buildup, open the grill
