Tips to Prevent Cottage Fires
- Practice safe grilling. Position your barbecue or grill away from the cottage, deck, and all traffic and play areas. Use long-handled tools so the chef’s hands and clothing are clear of flames and grease spatters. Clean the grill well each season and periodically after that. Replace worn barbecue parts immediately.
- Store any BBQ starter fluid, propane tanks, gasoline for small equipment and other flammables well away from the grill area and the cottage, and keep safely out of reach of children.
- Monitor propane or natural gas hoses carefully for leaks, and replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
- Light camp fires in a clear area away from the cottage, other buildings or trees and in a well-defined fire pit. Keep your fire controlled, and ensure children are positioned well back and out of the way of smoke. Avoid making camp fires on windy days or evenings when burning embers can blow away from the fire area.
- Make sure any watercraft is outfitted with safety gear and a fire extinguisher per local regulations.
