If not careful, a backyard get-together can end in disaster.

With April here (already!), the sun begins to come out from the clouds and warm up the days. This is the time to enjoy picnics, backyard parties and baby showers with the fire pit that has been put away since before winter. While participating in outdoor events is wonderful, it can also increase the chance of fires. Not to worry! By following these easy steps, you can help prevent any accidents from happening while protecting your family and friends.
