With all the rain we have had recently, it may be hard to believe that the dry season is not far away. This will be the time when our lawns don’t grow as fast, and the water sprinklers will be in full effect. It is also the time when you have to be very careful when using fire.
The drier weather brings increased chances of a campfire or grill fire spreading to our dry grass and shrubs. Because of this, it is important to keep your outdoor fires well contained. You will also want to keep a shovel and bucket of water nearby. This will help you contain an outbreak more easily.
In another month or so, fireworks will be everywhere. Be sure to follow your local laws and ordinances regarding the use of fireworks. This will help keep a preventable fire from erupting in your neighborhood.
Finally, enjoy the summer!
