Bear in mind to remain secure each time you gentle an out of doors hearth.
Some Texas ideas:
- Test together with your metropolis and county about burn bans and native guidelines for outside fires. The Texas A&M Forest Service’s map lists county burn bans.
- Statewide, Texas limits outside burning to campfires, bonfires, hearth pits, cooking fires—and family trash fires on your private home property and provided that you don’t have trash pickup.
- Keep away from beginning an out of doors burn on dry, windy days.
- At all times keep by your hearth till it’s out.
- Hold water and a shovel and rake useful to douse the fireplace if it begins to unfold.
Pay attention: The state hearth marshal, Debra Knight, talks about summer time hearth security on the Texas Insurance podcast.
