The continuing hot, dry weather is setting the stage for an increase in outdoor fires of all types. The lack of significant rains have dried out yards, wooded areas, highway right-of-ways, wooden roofs and outdoor structures to the point of being very easily ignited even by the smallest of sparks.
Area residents are urged to be especially aware of the dangers posed by barbecues, vehicles, lawnmowers, and smoking materials. Under the current conditions a small fire can quickly get out of control and spread to other areas. The following tips can help reduce the incidence of outdoor fires.
By being more aware of the increased fire dangers during dry weather we can all enjoy safe summertime activities. For more information on fire safety contact the Liberty Fire Department at 816-439-4310.
