Outdoor Grilling Fire in San Ysidro Back Yard Damages Home?

We restore fire damage in San Diego “Like it never even happened.”

Our local Otay Mesa/San Ysidro team is trained and certified to restore fire damage caused by outdoor grilling. A barbecue fire can happen when:

Grease buildup: Over time, grease and fat from cooking meats can accumulate in the grill's drip pan, grates, and other surfaces. If not regularly cleaned, this buildup becomes highly flammable and can ignite when exposed to high temperatures.

Flare-ups: Fat drips onto hot coals or burner elements, causing sudden flare-ups. These flames can leap from the grill, potentially igniting nearby combustible materials such as wooden decks, patio furniture, or vegetation.

Improper ventilation: Poor airflow within the grill can lead to incomplete combustion, creating a buildup of combustible gases like propane or natural gas. If these gases ignite unexpectedly, they can cause an explosion or fire.

Malfunctioning equipment: Faulty components or improper grill assembly, such as damaged hoses, leaking gas lines, or malfunctioning ignition systems, can increase the fire risk.

Placement hazards: Placing the grill too close to flammable structures, such as overhanging branches, wooden fences, or exterior walls, can increase the likelihood of ignition if sparks or flames escape the grill.

Ignition from nearby sources: In some cases, external factors such as embers blown by the wind or nearby open flames (e.g., candles, tiki torches) can ignite combustible materials near the grill.
