It’s Getting Colder, which Means it’s Fire Season!

If you wish to avoid this ire, Keep your eyes on every fire. Never leave it unattended, Unless you want your housing ended.

“Okay, what’s the deal here? I thought fire was hot! Why is cold season fire season?” That’s probably what you’re thinking right now. Well, I’m here to clear things up--it’s my job!

Although you’re correct about the average temperature of fire being quite high, what you neglect to mention is when we use fire most! When do you usually use fire?

I use fire when it’s cold.

You probably do too.

That’s right, autumn and winter are primetime for fire, when we use it indoors to heat our homes, cook, light our rooms, and outdoors to stay warm. All that fire can cause some damage, especially in the hands of someone without the requisite amount of caution. Fire is an incredible tool; without it, humans wouldn’t exist! However, it’s also extremely dangerous and can destroy a structure in a matter of minutes.

If you want to stay safe during “fire season,” make sure you never leave a fire unattended (and no, putting your toddler in beside it with a water hose while you grab another Heineken doesn’t count as attending it!), always have some form of adequate fire extinguisher nearby (hose, bucket of wire, chemical fire extinguisher, an entire dump truck of dirt), and remember to put the fire out when you’re done with it--it’s not that hard to start another if you realise your brats didn’t get fully cooked!

Follow these rules and you’ll be able to survive the autumn and winter, and have a nice, warm, safe time.
