"All it takes is just a small ember for things to kind of get away, and it can go and lead to an entire structure fire, or a house fire, or an apartment fire," said Lt. Marcus Gomes with the Seminole County Fire Department. Gomes shared the best steps to make sure your Memorial Day cookout is a safe one. "If you're going to go and grill, you want to make sure you are in an open area, not in a garage, not inside your house, not on a patio," Gomes said. "Just making sure that your grill is cleaned because a lot of people don't use it for a couple of months, the last time they used it, all of that grease and stuff will kind of lead to more fires. And making you don't leave your grill unattended."
