Fire Burning Seasons Heeds Fire Safety Common Sense

In Seattle, local fire officials are urging homeowners and others to use simple fire safety when enjoying the summer festivities. You can watch this short video on what they suggest to do. Or you can read below for a synopsis:



As Memorial Day unveils the unofficial (well, lets call it the official) start to summer bbqs and parties etc, people are lighting up their fire pits, bbqs, bonfires and more. Local fire officials in Seattle urge people to use common sense when utilizing fire pits and more. If the wind kicked up that day, its probably NOT a good idea to burn anything as it poses a greater fire danger to your home as well as your neighbors.



Fires cannot be larger than three feet wide and two feet high and only clean, dry wood may be used in a fire pit. you cant just throw anything in there. Propane or natural gas burning systems are preferred as you can control the size of the flame, they are safer for the environment and you can turn it off with the flip of a switch.

Finally, all fires must be burned at least 25 feet away from home and structures, someone should monitor the fire at all times and you should have a garden hose, bucket of water or fire extinguisher on hand at all times just in case theres an emergency.
