Barbecue Safety and Propane Grill Permits
Wednesday, May 20, 2015
With Memorial Day and the beginning of the summer season imminent, the Malden Fire Department would like to take the opportunity to remind residents about the City ordinance pertaining to barbecue and propane grills and permit and safety requirements.
Chapter 10.13 of the City of Malden Ordinances states in part: Anyone who operates a propane grill in the City MUST obtain a permit from the Malden Fire Department. The permit fee is $5 and may be obtained by going to the office at the District One Fire Station, One Sprague Street during City Hall business hours. The permit does not expire.
Safety requirements include that barbecue grills must be placed at least five feet away from any structure and in an area clear of heavy grass and brush or overhead hazards when in use. Grills are not permitted on porches, rooftops or balconies when in use. Storage or use of liquid propane gas containers above the first floor of a building used for habitation is prohibited. Grills must not be left unattended while in use and charcoal must be completely and thoroughly extinguished.
