SERVPRO® of Chino/Chino Hills is a trusted leader in fire damage restoration services in El Prado. Under the right conditions, burning embers can take flight and start fires as far away as a mile. Here are some tips for backyard fire pit safety:

Choose the Right Location: Place your fire pit at least 10 feet away from any structures, trees, or flammable materials. Ensure it's on a level, non-combustible surface like concrete or gravel.

Use a Fire Pit Screen: A mesh screen can prevent embers and sparks from escaping, reducing the risk of starting a fire outside the pit.

Clear the Area: Remove any dry leaves, branches, or other flammable materials within a 10-foot radius around your fire pit.

Monitor the Fire: Never leave the fire unattended.

Keep Water Nearby: Have a bucket of water, a hose, or a fire extinguisher close by in case of emergencies.

Burn Safe Materials: Only burn dry, seasoned wood. Avoid burning trash, leaves, or other materials that can produce excessive sparks or embers.

Control the Fire Size: Keep the fire manageable and avoid overloading the pit with too much wood.

Extinguish Properly: Fully extinguish the fire before leaving the area. Douse the fire with water, stir the ashes, and douse again until everything is cool to the touch.
