There's still plenty of summer left to enjoy evenings around the fire pit. Before gathering with family and friends, take a few simple steps to help keep everyone safe.
• Follow your local fire department’s fire pit requirements.
• Keep a hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher nearby.
• Use a metal screen to help prevent sparks from escaping.
• Never leave a fire unattended, even for a moment. Make sure it is completely extinguished before leaving the area.
A little preparation can help make your backyard gatherings both enjoyable and safe.
