Safety at the Summer Vacation Beach Cottage – Use Electrical , Propane
Dec/090
At the summertime vacation beach cottage that you may well find that you are both using the combination and combinations of both electrical power and natural gas or propane as well , both at the same time at your summertime vacation retreat or side by side. Avoid injuries to yourself, your family and your cottage or summertime camp recreational guests. Use electrical, natural gas, propane gas power and heat all together safely. Avoid injures. Play it safe.
While it is more than true that we all have grown and gotten more than used to the benefits and convenience of electrical power and natural gas , we often and rarely take the time to find out if we are using them safely.
For example – have you ever used a metal fork to remove bread or a bun from an electric toaster? Have you ever turned on the garbage disposal (garborator), without fully drying your hands – with a dry towel or the like? It’s famous in the TV shows that people are too lazy to take the time to safely pull out an electrical cord properly by grasping the electrical power plug and rather take the easy way out and simply yank on the cord, some distance from the electrical plug itself.
By carelessly doing the above you may well have put yourself, your family or guests at menace and in peril if the above were done in the presence of natural gas or propane at the beach or lake cottage. Both natural gas and more commonly propane may well be a convenience at the lake cottage. Beach cottages are now often luxury retreats – complete with hot water (often from natural gas or propane hot water tank or tanks). While these appliances are feverishly working away to heat your hot water – whether for standard hot water for dishes or the bath , or more commonly now than before for luxury items such as hot tubs or gas barbecues – they may be silently or not so silently be spewing out natural gas or propane as well . A gas stove is more obvious as a potential site where a simple electrical spark from careless may serve as an ignition source and start. It’s not as obvious with the others – be it a gas water tank or barbecue but the results are all the same.
What to do? First of all play it safe electrically. Work best to prevent needless electrical sparks which could serve as ignition sources for natural gas and propane. Next never store flammable as well as potentially flammable materials around natural gas or propane furnaces or hot water tanks and devices.
Lastly in addition to standard routine inspections by either the electrical , gas or power utility trained people and personnel one afterthought to think of are to provide for carbon monoxide detectors as well as yearly battery checks and replacements. Carbon monoxide poisoning might not be such a consideration in a breezy summer vacation cottage. Still the results of spewed concentrations of carbon monoxide gas are all the same – whether in a more airtight sealed city home or at the summer vacation property.

Campfire Safety Tips
Dec/090
Camping and campfires go hand in hand. It is difficult to imagine going camping without building a fire to roast marshmallows over and to tell ghost stories around. Without proper safety etiquette, your campfire could turn your camping trip into a disaster.
Choosing a Safe Location For Your Campfire
Most commercial campgrounds already have preexisting fire rings to use. Unless the fire ring is in a dangerous spot, you should build your fire there. The campground owners have likely already deemed this as a safe location to build a fire. The fire ring will help contain sparks and prevent your fire from spreading.
If your campsite does not have a fire ring, you will need to create one. First find a spot that meets these criteria:
-downwind at least 5 feet away from your tent and firewood
-away from trees, bushes, logs, stumps and overhanging branches
-away from dry grass and forest debris
-away from any other flammable items
If your campsite does have a fire ring already, check if it meets the above criteria too. The landscape around your campsite could have changed since the fire ring was initially built. There might now be a branch that overhangs the current fire ring.
Preparing Your Campfire Area
Once you have chosen where to build your campfire, you need to ensure that the area is completely clear of anything that could ignite. It is best to clear the ground right down to the soil within about 5 feet of your fire pit. Surrounding twigs and dry leaves could easily catch fire from a wayward spark.
Next dig a shallow pit about 2 feet across and encircle this pit with a ring of medium sized rocks. These rocks should be placed snuggly together without any gaps where sparks could fly through. Remove any small, loose stones from the pit that could potentially explode from the fire’s heat.
Before you begin building your campfire, make sure you have equipment on hand to extinguish your fire. You will need a large bucket of water and a shovel. Keep these things close enough to your fire pit that they are quickly accessible in an emergency. If the ground around your campsite is too hard to shovel, also keep a bucket of sand or dirt nearby.
Safely Igniting Your Campfire
Avoid using lighter fluid or other chemicals to start your fire. These fuels are dangerous to use in the wilderness. They can unexpectedly flare up and catch your clothing on fire. Instead just use a lighter or match to ignite your kindling. Do not discard any used matches until they are cool to the touch.
It can be tempting to build a large bonfire instead of a reasonably sized campfire. Resist the temptation and put safety first. A large fire will emit more potentially hazardous sparks. These sparks from a large fire are capable to drifting further away than sparks from a small fire. Also it can be much more difficult to extinguish a large fire.
Maintaining a Safe Campfire
While your campfire is burning, never leave it unattended! Despite other safety precautions, your campfire could spread from your fire pit. You need to be around to ensure your campfire doesn’t spread.
Be careful of what you burn in your campfire. Try to stick to manageable pieces of firewood that easily fit within your fire pit. It is not a good idea to burn large logs that stick out past your fire pit. Also avoid burning fresh branches that give off excess sparks.
Properly Extinguishing Your Campfire
Before you go to sleep or when you leave the campsite, you must fully extinguish your campfire. First, douse the flames by pouring water on the fire. You are not done yet though. Just because you can’t see flames, it does not mean the fire cannot reignite itself. There are usually still hot embers that will continue smoldering for hours. To deal with the embers, stir the coals and add more water. Then cover the coals with dirt or sand.
Conclusion
It is far too easy for a campfire to spread becoming a forest fire. When you are camping, it is your responsibility to protect the forest from your campfire. Follow these simple campfire safety rules and use your common sense. Sometimes it simply is not safe to have a campfire at all. If the forest is too dry and forest fire danger is high, there is often a ban on campfires. Respect these bans as they are for your own safety. Strong winds make for dangerous campfire conditions too. So use your own judgment if necessary. Do what you can to protect our forests.
