Spring Clean Up
3/29/2019 (Permalink)
With the temperatures getting warmer outside, people are cleaning up their yards from the winter months. We urge people to use extreme caution with burning brush or other debris. Brush fires can start quickly and also can catch a house on fire, just as quick!
Here are some safety tips to keep in mind:
- Clean your garage of stored newspapers or other rubbish that can fuel a fire.
- Use outdoor barbecue grills with caution. Place them in a safe area away from building, windows, heating/air conditioning units or places with high/dead vegetation.
- Check your propane barbecue grill hose for leaks and cracks; never store propane indoors.
- Keep outdoor debris or dead vegetation away from the house.
- Never use gasoline to start the fire, and don't add charcoal lighter fluid once the fire has started.
