🔥 Open Air Fire Safety Reminder 🔥

Enjoy your backyard fire pit safely this season by following a few simple precautions:

✅ Only burn clean, dry wood.
✅ Keep a water source, hose, or fire extinguisher nearby.
✅ Never leave a fire unattended.
✅ Keep children and pets a safe distance from the fire.
✅ Avoid having a fire during windy conditions, as sparks can travel and start unwanted fires.
✅ Ensure the fire is completely extinguished before leaving the area or going indoors. Stir the ashes, add water, and check for any remaining heat.

Remember, even a small fire can spread quickly if not properly monitored.

Let's work together to keep our community safe and prevent unnecessary fires this summer.

🚒 If a fire gets out of control, call 9-1-1 immediately.
