Show 4 HILLTOP TIMES TIME S June 28, 2012 Safety From lA • During the summer months, Hill AFB Fire Department sees an increase in grass and brush fires that start from discarded cigarette butts tossed into roadside dry grass. With summer temperatures increasing daily and humidity dropping, fuels along mountain sides and urban interface areas increase fire potential. • Homeowners in urban interface areas need to take precautions to prevent fire spread by clearing combustibles away from homes and cabins (defensible space). • Extinguish and discard cigarette butts in an appropriate metal container or ashtray. Barbecue safety • Read the owner's manual prior to operating a gas grill, also make sure propane tanks are secured and not stored in direct sunlight. • At every propane tank/ bottle change, check the fittings to ensure proper seal and fit. • Open the lid while igniting gas barbecue burners or wait five minutes to allow the gas to clear if the barbecue does not light. Explosive flame-up may occur if you fail to do so. • Never leave your barbecue unattended, especially when children are around. Always have a hose, or fire extinguisher nearby in case of fire. • Keep clothing, towels and hot pads away from flames and use long-handled barbecuing utensils. • Use charcoal lighter fluid sparingly and with caution. Never squirt "just a little more" once the fire is lit (even if it is just smoking) as the fire can shoot back up along the stream and explode the container. *Always discard spent briquettes and warm ashes in a metal can far away from combustibles (such as a deck or siding). Briquettes can stay hot and burn through paper bags or plastic buckets for hours after a fire is extinguished. It's safest to wait one full day before removing used briquettes from barbecue. • Store unused briquettes in a dry place away from potential ignition sources and combustible materials. Gasoline safety *Never smoke or strike a match or lighter while fueling a chain saw, ATV, lawnmower, or other gasoline engine. Invisible vapors present can be dangerous and explosive. *When refueling your lawn mower or other gasoline-powered yard equipment, always turn off the engine and avoid spilling gas on hot exhausts. • Keep gasoline in an approved container with a tight fitting lid/cap to keep flammable vapors inside. *Never store gasoline in an enclosed area or in the presence of an ignition source. • When re-fueling gas containers, never fill them while container are in a vehicle or truck bed. The container needs to be placed on the ground and insure the nozzle stays in contact with the gas container. Wood refinishing & staining products Refinishing products containing linseed and other oils generate their own heat. Cotton rags wadded up or folded can spontaneously ignite. *Read and follow the manufacturer's instructions. • Lay rags flat to dry on a non-combustible surface or place them in a metal container partially filled with water and cover with a tight fitting lid. • Never place rags in washer, dryer or rag bin. Rags will retain oil and start their own self heating. need to check with your local city or fire department and find out what fireworks are legal.
