Charcoal Grill On Balcony Poses Fire Hazard

Firefighters were called to a multi-family dwelling on Trailsway for a possible fire on a porch. When Engine Company 10 arrived, they met with an occupant using a charcoal grill on their first-floor balcony. Firefighters advised the grill would need to be moved away from the building as it's not to be used within 10 feet of combustible materials.

The Madison Fire Department's Guide to Grilling illustrates the proper use and storage of various types of grills.
