Vehicles and Recreational Gear

More than one home has been ignited because a flaming brand landed in the boat a homeowner parked next to their house. Campers, 4-wheelers, lawn mowers, canoes and kayaks all provide landing places for flaming brands and embers.

If you have vehicles or recreational gear stored outside:

• Park keep vehicles and campers away from the house and make sure all windows are closed and truck beds are kept clear of debris.
• Cover or over-turn recreational equipment such as canoes and kayaks to prevent embers form landing in them and starting a blaze.
