Grass Fire Safety Tips

tools and equipment 101 | Posted: 5/15/2023

When springtime comes it can bring dry and windy conditions, which is the perfect mix for grassfires and wildfires to start. Making sure you are following safe practices and ensuring you have the proper products in your home or business, will help lower the risk of a potential fire breaking out. Ensuring that you also have the right protection products for yourself will ensure your safety and protection in case you find yourself stuck in an unpredictable situation.

With the potential of a wildfire starting at any moment, here are some safety tips to always be prepared;

  • Stock a survival emergency kit with enough supplies to last over 72 hours
  • Clear leaves, branches and ensure you water your grass. These precautions will help minimize the chance of a fire starting around your home, and help stop it from spreading
  • Keep your lawn cut to at least 10 cm or less
  • Store wood or other flammable materials at least 10 meters away from any buildings
  • Keep your lawn hydrated and maintained. Brown, dried up grass will catch fire much quicker than watered grass
