The employees at Central Heating and Air Conditioning want you and your family to be safe while enjoying those beautiful fire-pits. Building a fire pit can be as simple as circling stones in your backyard or as complex as a professionally built unit on your patio.
Make sure the ground or surface is even to reduce the risk of fire escaping beyond your fire pit.
To keep your fire from causing damage, build the fire pit at least 10 feet from your home, fences, trees and the like.
Never use gasoline or kerosene to start your fire; such fuels can cause a fire to get out of control quickly. Instead, use dry wood as kindling that doesn’t extend beyond the edge of the pit.
Make sure guests maintain a proper distance and don’t exhibit risky behavior. Keep close tabs on children and pets.
Smooth stones from river beds may have absorbed moisture over time and can heat rapidly and explode. Instead of river stones, build your fire pit with dry, rough stones.
Avoid using your fire pit on windy days, since flames or embers can spread to your home, yard and nearby trees.
Even if your fire pit is small, flames can spread quickly if left unattended. Monitor at all times.
Once you extinguish your fire with water, gently stir and spread the ashes to cool. Leave only when they’re cool to the touch.
Keep a fire extinguisher, garden hose or bucket of sand close to douse the fire in case it gets out of hand. If you can’t put it out quickly, call 9-1-1.
