Summer Fire Safety Tips

6/29/2021 (Permalink)

Here are some tips to keep in mind as you and your family enjoy summer vacations, camping, family gatherings, picnics, and the Fourth of July.

•  When camping, always build a campfire at least 25 feet away from tents, shrubs, and anything that can burn.
•  Want to see Fireworks this summer? We recommend you go to a public show put on by experts. Sparklers can reach 1,200 F and can cause third degree burns.
• When using anything with an open flame or can burn, like a fire pit or grills, make sure they are at least 10 feet away from your home.
• Always use propane, charcoal, wood pellet barbecue grills outdoors only. Indoor use can cause a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Place your grill away from siding and deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. Do not store or use a grill on a porch or balcony.
