Video Transcript

All right, we're here talking today about bon fires, camp fires, fire pits. And what we want to talk about before we even start our fire and get prepared for that, is fire safety. Very very important to be prepared for the worst, always expect the best, but prepare for the worst. And what we mean by that, when we're talking about fire is, have on hand, close by, the apparatuses that are going to allow you to put out a fire should it catch a piece of grass, and if its dry conditions and it starts burning. And all of a sudden you have windy conditions that kick up and start blowing the fire and blowing the embers out. And you're chasing it down, you don't want to be chasing them down and stomping on them. Very important is fire safety, and number one is keep yourself a five gallon bucket of water, filled on site, within reach. It doesn't have to be right by the fire pit. Twenty feet away, somewhere where you can reach it. So that if something starts happening right away, you've got access to water that you can dump on it right away. And the other thing is, a fire extinguisher. Make sure that you put a fire extinguisher close by, you won't have to worry about that. This is the kind of cannister that you don't want next to the fire. This is a gasoline cannister. You're going to keep these safe and secure, way way far away. So, fire safety, a bucket of water, a fire extinguisher and if possible, a hose that reaches the fire as well.
