Campfire Safety

4/23/2020 (Permalink)

The weather is finally warming up enough to make having a campfire enjoyable. Although most people enjoy having a fire on a nice cool evening, it also brings along a variety of dangers. We have worked many residential fire damage jobs over the years that were the result of people not taking proper precautions when having a fire. Between structural, soot, smoke, and possibly water damage, the restoration job can get costly very quick. It is very important to be cautious when having a fire. Here are some tips that could help you avoid a disaster:

• Dig a pit away from overhanging branches
• Clean a 10-foot area around the pit with dirt, removing anything that could catch fire
• Keep a bucket of water and shovel nearby
• Do not pull sticks out of the fire
