The service has released a series of social media posts giving the garden charcoal chefs advice.
West Midlands Fire Service tweeted: "Having BBQs should be safe and enjoyable, but it's easy to get distracted by friends and family while you’re sizzling those sausages.
"Keep children, games and pets away from the BBQ, never leave it unattended, keep a bucket of water or sand nearby for emergencies."
WMFS also wants BBQs to only be fired up in domestic settings after a series of incidents at beauty spots across the Midlands including The Lickey Hills, which were set ablaze during the heatwave.
