Atlanta Fireplace Supplier Craft Stove and Fireplace Center Shares Fire Pit Safety Tips
Craft Stove and Fireplace Center, an Atlanta fireplace and stove provider, shares advice with safety-conscious fire pit owners.

ATLANTA, GA, October 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Atlanta fireplace supplier Craft Stove and Fireplace Center is promoting fire safety with guidance on how to safely enjoy a back yard fire pit. Crisp autumn nights are the perfect time to gather around a warm fire, and these tips will ensure that this pleasant family activity is also a safe one.

"The first stop in practicing fire safety is to take the right precautions," explains Melinda Pulliam, Director of Marketing for Craft Stove and Fireplace Center. "There are many easy steps you can take to minimize safety hazards."

Keep fires small, and avoid using gasoline, charcoal fire starters, or other incendiary chemicals. Instead, burn fatwood sticks or well-seasoned hardwoods that will produce less smoke when burnt. Check the weather conditions before starting a fire; a strong wind can make it difficult to get a fire going or can blow flames out of control.

No fire should ever be left unattended, whether it is contained in a firepit, fireplace, or an Atlanta wood stove; you never know when the wind will pick up and blow the fire in the wrong direction, or when a child will get to close to the flames.

Enjoy your fire pit as long as you like, but be sure to put out the fire before you go in for the night. By following these safety tips, Atlanta fire pit owners can enjoy the pleasant warmth of a fire pit without putting themselves or others in harm's way.

Craft Stove and Fireplace Center specializes in quality Atlanta fireplaces, as well as gas and wood-burning stoves. For more information on Craft Stove and Fireplace Center, visit the company's website at http://www.craftstoveandfireplace.com.
