Putting out a fire with water

5/23/2019 (Permalink)

With summer just around the corner we want to share some safe outdoor fire tips on how to properly put out a fire using water.

• Be cautious when you are intoxicated and near a fire
• Do not throw trash or debris into a lit fire
• Do not use Accelerants to light your fire
• Do not toss aerosols, bottles, plastics, or malleable metals into the fire.

Doing so can cause shrapnel to be project into the air and potentially cause injury.

• Do not leave the fire pit unattended
• Do not leave children or pets unattended near a fire pit

• Do make sure you have a bucket of water or fire extinguisher readily available
• Do keep your fire pit 10 feet away from combustible items, buildings, or other landscaping
• Ensure that the fire pit is covered to some extent
• Do not use a fire pit on a deck or under a covered patio
• Ensure that your fire pit is at least 6 inches tall
• Do keep a shovel near by to smother a fire if necessary
• Dispose of ashes in a safe metal container used solely for ashes.
