Safety Precautions on the Use of Fire Pits
Most families are heading out camping today, taking advantage of the holiday and 4th of July activities. Some will be hosting BBQ parties in their backyards and some will be traveling to the beach. All of these activities would involve building a camp fire using fire pits at one point or another.
Here are some safety precaution tips when using an outdoor fire pit:
. Start slow. Build the fire slowly and gradually. Most experts recommend that fire starter sticks be used rather than lighter fluids. And a fire will last longer if you start small.
. Distance. Position your fire pit in a safe distance from any outdoor furniture or other flammable materials. Place it at least 10 feet from your home and 3 to 5 feet from furniture and plants. Clear away dead leaves in a 15 to 20 foot circle around your fire pit and avoid setting it up under trees with low hanging branches.
. Open space. Never place fire pits in an enclosed area. The fumes it gives off are harmful without proper ventilation.
. Consider using a propane fire pit. These require less attention, more convenient and easier to light. Check all hoses, valves and attachments for leakages before using.
