Incident: Homeowner had purchased this Weber Genesis propane grill online from Lowes around July 4, 2014. He stated that he had used it approximately 6 times since he had purchased it. Homeowner and his wife both stated that at least three out of the six times the grill was used they could hear a hissing noise coming from the connection between the gas hose and the tank. On the night of the fire very shortly after lighting it to cook dinner, they noticed it on fire. The homeowner noticed the flames had traveled down from the burners towards the propane tank. Homeowner extinguished the fire with a dry chemical extinguisher prior to FD arrival. No injuries, but the grill did suffer fire damage.
