What Hillsborough does
to a grill.

Parts of the department's district are wildland-urban interface, where homes meet the SFPUC's Peninsula Watershed lands.

Homes in a Very High hazard zone must keep 100 feet of cleared defensible space around them, the department notes.

Mountain lions live in and roam the green belts that surround the town.

Gated communities

Associations in gated communities may set where a grill and its propane tank can stand and how far from the house, and a technician moving a grill or running a new gas line works inside those rules, with the visit arranged through the gate.

Premium built-in grill heads

Premium grill heads set in stone often carry infrared sear burners, a rotisserie, a back burner and lit knobs, each a separate system with its own igniter and valve, so a technician checks every one on a visit rather than only the one that stopped.

Pool decks and cookouts

Grills near a pool catch splashed chlorine or salt water and then the covers owners pull over them, and a grill covered while still warm and wet rusts under the hood, so the cover goes on only after the grill has cooled and dried.

When a grill
cannot wait in Hillsborough.

In Hillsborough as anywhere, these four put the people at the grill in danger and mean the gas stays closed until we come: a gas smell at the grill, the hose or the tank, a grease fire that keeps burning with the knobs down, flame curling out behind the control panel, or a knob that turns to off while the burner stays lit.
