Fourth Of July firework safety Be sure to always have water or a fire extinguisher near by when you're having a fire, using fireworks, or cooking!

The Fourth of July is this weekend! What do you think of when you hear that? Fireworks, cookout (social distance of course) and gathering around the fire with some s'mores all come to mind for us! 

When fire is involved in any way, it's important for you and everyone around to be safe! 

Grilling safety

You can check out our blog on grilling safety here, but in short:

- Place your grill away from any decks, awnings, and tree branches. 

- NEVER EVER leave your grill unattended while it is lit.

- Keep your grill clean, according to the NFPA, 1 out of every 5 grill fires was a grill that was not clean.

- Be sure there are no children running around the grilling area. You can tell them it's an "adult only zone" 

- NEVER use a grill in the garage, under a canopy, or anywhere enclosed. This can cause a carbon monoxide build up which can be fatal. 

Firework safety

- NEVER light fireworks indoors

- Never use fireworks if you are under the influence of alcohol

- Light them away from any trees, bushes, houses and any other flammable materials

- Never ignite fireworks inside of a container 

- Soak used fireworks in water after using them to prevent any risk of fire 

- Always be sure fireworks are legal in your area!

Fire safety 

- Only build a fire in contained areas

- Clear the area around the fire pit so there are no papers, leaves, or any other flammable materials 

- Never leave a fire unattended

- Keep a fire extinguisher, hose, or bucket of water close by

- When putting out the fire, be sure it is completely out before heading in for the night

- After about 24 hours, the ashed can be dampened, cooled, and put into a metal container just for ashes
