Fire Pits and Safety

Having a fire pit in your backyard can create an awesome outdoor experience for you and your family and friends. But it’s important to prioritize safety when using it. Here are some reminders to keep in mind:

Choose a safe location: Make sure the location you choose for your fire pit is at least 10 feet away from any structures, trees, or flammable materials.

Use non-combustible materials: When building your fire pit, use non-combustible materials such as bricks or stones to prevent accidental fires.

Avoid using accelerants: Never use gasoline, kerosene, or other accelerants to start your fire. This can be extremely dangerous and can cause explosive flames.

Keep a fire extinguisher nearby: Always have a fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergency. Water can also be used to put out a fire, but never use it on a grease fire.

Supervise children and pets: Make sure children and pets are supervised when around the fire pit to prevent accidental burns.

By keeping these safety reminders in mind, you can enjoy your fire pit while also ensuring the safety of yourself, your family, and your property.
