Fourth of July Fire Safety Tips

7/3/2019 (Permalink)

When setting off fireworks, it's always a good idea to keep a fire extinguisher handy.

As you celebrate our nation's birthday, keep the following tips in mind to avoid any fire-related problems.

- Never light fireworks indoors or near dry grass.

- Keep a bucket of water and/or a fire extinguisher nearby.

- Know how to operate a fire extinguisher properly.

- Do not wear loose clothing while cooking on a barbecue.

- Use caution when using lighter fluid on a barbecue. Do not add fluid to an already lit fire, as the flame can flashback into the container and explode.

- Never grill in an enclosed area, as carbon monoxide could be produced.

Enjoy the holiday safely!
