Summer safety

   It’s easy to make a steak great, especially when it’s been grilled outdoors.  It’s just as easy to cook that steak carefully.   This is just a reminder for you and your Big Bear family to add fire safety to your barbeque recipe.

   Barbeque risks can be avoided with a little common sense.  Wear clothing that won’t flop against the coals or hot surfaces of the grill.  Always use-long-handled utensils intended for barbequing.  The safest way to start your fire is with a bunch of crumpled newspapers.  It’s low-tech but it works and it won’t explode in your face.  Keep a garden hose or large bucket of water nearby, just in case.  Have a safe, happy and delicious cookout – keep these numbers on the fridge:

• 909-585-2362 Big Bear City Fire Department

• 909-866-4878 Big Bear Lake Fire Department

• 909-866-4878 San Bernardino County Fire, Fawnskin
