Late summer heat can turn dry lawns, mulch, and yard debris into fast-burning fuel and even small sparks can cause major problems. Carelessly tossed smoking materials are still one of the top causes of preventable outdoor fires.

Before you walk away, take a moment to do it right:
✔ fully put it out (no smoke, no heat!)
✔ use a proper ashtray
✔ keep cigarette butts out of gardens, planters and landscaping

Let’s keep things glowing for the right reasons, with sunshine instead of fires.
