Fire Prevention Information

Stay fire safe this summer! Follow these grilling safety tips from the U.S. Fire Administration:

Only use your grill outside. Keep it at least 3 feet from siding, deck rails and eaves.
Keep a 3-foot safe zone around your grill. This will keep kids and pets safe.
Open your gas grill before lighting.
Keep an eye on your grill, fire pit or patio torches. Don’t walk away from them when they are lit.
Clean your grill after each use. This will remove grease that can start a fire.
Place the coals from your grill in a metal can with a lid once they have cooled.

Fire Prevention Safety Information

Tips and information to prepare your home for wildfires from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association):

There are a number of steps homeowners can take to prepare –

Operate under a worst-case scenario. Assume firefighters cannot respond with personnel, vehicles, and water to protect your home. Keep in mind that your home safety upgrades are for when a wildfire is approaching, and you and your family have evacuated. Retrofits should be aimed at preventing the wildfire or surrounding structures from igniting your home.
Minimize ignition to your home’s exterior with roof repairs or replacements, dual- or triple-paned windows, and screened vents and openings. Repair any cracks in shingles or siding and remove ignitable material from decks and patios during times of high wildfire danger.
Address the area within 5 feet of your home’s perimeter and ensure there is nothing there that can burn—mulch, shrub, wood piles, wooden attachments, and so on.
Keep large fuel packages like firewood piles or vehicles 30 feet or more from homes at times of high fire danger.
Reduce the ignitability of your yard or acreage within 30 feet of your home and out to your property line by landscaping with fire in mind.
Work with your neighbors to reduce ignitable elements on your shared boundaries and encourage them to work with their other neighbors.

Fire Prevention Safety

Campfire Safety information from the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) –

Before setting up a campfire, be sure it is permitted. Check with your local fire department.
If campfires are permitted, they need to be at least 25 feet away from any structure and anything that can burn.
Clear away dry leaves and sticks, overhanging low branches and shrubs.
Avoid burning on windy, dry days. It is easier for open burning to spread out of control when it is windy and dry.
Watch children while the fire is burning. Never let children or pets play or stand too close to the fire.
Always attend to the campfire. A campfire left alone for only a few minutes can grow into a damaging fire.
Keep a campfire small which is easier to control.
Never use gasoline or other flammable or combustible liquids.
Always have a hose, bucket of water, or shovel and dirt or sand nearby to put out the fire. Make sure to put it completely out before leaving the site.
If your clothes catch fire, stop, drop, and roll. Stop, drop to the ground and cover your face with your hands. Roll over and over or back and forth until the fire is out.
Treat a burn right away. Cool the burn with cool water for 3 to 5 minutes. Cover with a clean, dry cloth. Get medical help if needed.

EXTINGUISH THE FIRE PROPERLY: Campers need to properly maintain and extinguish campfires when going to bed or leaving the area. If possible, let the campfire burn down to ashes. Pour water on the fire to drown all embers, not just the red ones. Once this is done, stir everything in the pit with a shovel and test for heat with the back of your hand. Once it is completely out, you are safe to go to bed or leave the area.
