Preventing Fire Pit Accidents: To minimize the dangers associated with indoor fire pits and enjoy s'mores safely, the Office of the State Fire Marshal recommends the following precautions: 1. Always extinguish the flame before refueling – Ensure the flame is completely out when refilling a liquid-fuel fire pit. Let the fire pit cool for several minutes to avoid the risk of flame jetting. 2. Use safe fuels—Only use fuels specifically recommended for indoor fire pits. Avoid alcohol-based fuels unless specified for indoor use, and opt for safer alternatives like gel fuels. 3. Keep children and pets at a safe distance – An adult should always monitor fire pits. Keep children and pets away from the flame, and be cautious when roasting marshmallows. 4. Proper ventilation – Always ensure the room is well-ventilated when using an indoor fire pit to prevent the buildup of harmful gases like carbon monoxide. Never leave a fire pit unattended. 5. Install a smoke and carbon monoxide detector. A reliable detector system is essential for early detection of hazardous gas buildup. |
