Fire Pits

Because of the real fire, you as the host must aware of some of the safety precautions of fire hazard. You should never take this for granted. Fire can endanger any space or when opportunity comes could burn the entire place.


There are several safety tips to consider when partying with outdoor fire pits:

  • Firstly, you must keep children and pets at a secure place. Make sure that there is a fire extinguisher or working water hose available all the time and keep the children or pets out of the close contact with the fire.

    Thirdly, spend some time in thinking where you will put the pits. Do not place them under the trees or near the shrubbery, since pits could catch fire with the falling dry leaves, low tree branches or lazy swaying of the hanging shrubs. Also, try to check if you plan to put the pit in the patio or wood deck. It is highly dangerous to place it in a wood deck. But if you are going to place the pit on your wood deck, you can add fire pit pad, bricks or stone to protect your deck from fire hazard.

  • Lastly, make sure that the ground surface is leveled so the fire pit will not tip over. You must also aware of any wire cables hanging nearby. For better results, get the space cleared for the pit or you may put the fire pit in the midst of the open backyard where you arrange the tables and chairs at the sides circling the pit or may be under the trees.

Before you must make a fire in the pit, check the fire safety and regulations in your area. Lots of public places do not allow the pits to be ignited without it being covered by a smoke screen. Do not throw garbage in the pit or any chemicals that release dangerous fumes that could harm your health and the environment. Do not spray chemicals or through kerosene to the pit especially when you are near. It can cause sparks that could literally burn you or any flammable objects nearby.

When the party is over. Never leave the pits unattended. Extinguish the fire properly. Make sure that the fire has cooled down completely. The ashes can contain fire even if you think you have already extinguished the fire in the pit. You need to be so certain in this case. Small fire can grow and would create bigger flames when unattended. Dispose the ashes properly and clean the pit. May you will enjoy another series of outdoor party gathering with family and friends with pits as the center of the party fun.
