OUTDOOR SAFETY TIPS

A FIRE WEATHER WATCH: means warm temperature, and very low humidities, and stronger winds may combine to produce a significantly increased risk of fire danger.

When conditions become very dry, make sure all burn barrels are covered with a weighted metal cover, and  holes, no larger than ¾ of an inch.

Don’t throw your cigarettes or matches out of a moving vehicle. They may ignite dry grass on the side of the road, and produce a wildfire.

Extinguish all outdoor fires properly. Drown fires with plenty of water and stir to make sure everything is cold to the touch. Dunk charcoal in water until cold. Do not throw live charcoal on the ground and leave it. NEVER LEAVE FIRE UNATTENDED. Sparks or embers can blow into leaves or grass and ignite a fire, and quickly spread.
