Below you can find important tips to help you and others stay safe around a bonfire:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Don\u2019t start the fire if the wind gusts are greater than 10mph.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Build the bonfire when fewer people are around, to help prevent accidents or complaints.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Start the bonfire at a safe distance from properties, fences, cars, trees, etc. Keep a distance of at least 5 times the height of the bonfire from a building.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Make sure no cables or wires are above the bonfire spot before building it.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Use only dry wood and materials to build and sustain the fire. Wet or damp materials will release much more smoke when lit.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Never pour gas or other flammable liquids when building or maintaining the bonfire to prevent accidental fires or burn-related injuries.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Fill a few buckets with water or keep a garden hose nearby to quickly extinguish any accidental fires, if necessary.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Never leave the bonfire unattended. Use long and sturdy tools to keep the bonfire under control.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Keep children and pets at a safe distance from the bonfire. Put your dog on a leash if it has become agitated or bring him inside.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Never burn tires, plastic items, spray bottles, or anything that may produce toxic fumes or that may explode.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify\">Once the fire is out, pour water over it to extinguish it completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">More general fire safety information can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puroclean.com\/blog\/fire-safety-checklist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this article<\/a>.
