Summer Fire Safety Tip #2 - Turn off or put out fires before you leave the backyard.
Summer Safety Tip #3 - Closely watch children when the fire pit is in use.
Summer Safety Tip# 4 - Only use propane, charcoal and wood pellet barbecue grills outside. Indoor use can cause a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
