What Carmel Valley does
to a grill.

As part of the city of San Diego, Carmel Valley falls under a fire code that keeps a backyard recreational fire at least 25 feet from any structure, or 15 feet when it burns in an approved container.

San Diego Fire-Rescue carries out the defensible space inspections that state law has required since July 1, 2021 for home sales in High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

The name traces to a hill the Sisters of Mercy called Mount Carmel, near the dairy farm they set up in lower McGonigle Canyon in 1905.

Newer developments

Builder patios in newer neighborhoods often hold grills of the same make and age up and down the street, so when one model's igniter or valve starts to go, the same part often fails next door within a season.

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.

Family houses

Suburban grills used for weekly family dinners wear their igniters and grates steadily, and grass clippings and leaves drift into the grease tray, which can turn a routine flare-up into a lasting grease fire if the tray is left full.

When a grill
cannot wait in Carmel Valley.

In Carmel Valley 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.
