The Calgary Fire Department wants people to make sure their yards and decks are fire safe this summer.
Spokesman Dean Krupa tells CTV News they’ve already received several calls about faulty barbeques. He suggests keeping your grill safe by cleaning out grease, making sure propane lines are free of leaks and make sure it’s far away from combustible structures.
