Accidentally Cause a Fire? How to Rebuild

5/8/2021 (Permalink)

This grill caught fire and nearly burned the entire house down.

Warmer weather is when our thoughts turn to spending more time outside, be it going for a walk, grilling, gardening, or painting. These are all enjoyable activities, but you need to be careful with at least two of them. 

When you’re painting your deck or fence to spruce up chipped paint after winter storms, clean up any oil-based paint that doesn’t make its way onto the fence and don’t leave a rag covered in oily paint out on your deck for hours in the sun. Even though it doesn’t sound possible, oil-based paint on rags can spontaneously combust in the sun, causing a fire to your deck and/or home.

Another note of caution: Your grill should always be placed away from your house, and certainly not right next to the side of your house. The last thing you want is a grease fire or explosion to occur on your grill, which then quickly engulfs your home.
