Brush Fires Can Lead To House Fires.

Studies show that local fire departments across the country respond to more than 300,000 grass and brush fires, most if them caused by carelessness, with a number of them igniting home on fire as they spread.

Here are a few tips to help prevent you becoming a victim of a grass or brush fire:

• Do not throw lit cigarettes or matches on the ground.
• Create a fire break around any burn piles.
• Keep a water hose with you at all times while burning burn piles to extinguish any embers that may land on dried areas outside of the burn area.

While following the above tips can help prevent you falling victim to a grass or brush fire, accidents do happen.
