In Meridian, Mississipi, our community enjoys the emerging of spring and the beginning of the new fresh season and warmth.

Here are the 3 most common types of springtime fires:BBQ Related Fires – BBQ fires can seriously be avoided by paying close attention to the grill and keeping it away from any objects.

Grilling underneath trees or near walls of storages, garages, or homes can easily lead to property fire.

Many grocery stores and gas stations grill hamburgers and hotdogs outside to gain the attention of customers, grilling too close to commercial buildings can also lead to major fire damage.

Otherwise, you could be looking at a serious fire disaster to your property.Night-Time Fire Pits – If you are some of the lucky homeowners that enjoy a nice fire pit in your back yard, you also know that there is more risk of fire damage to your property when a fire is going.

Of course, you have taken the extra precautions to make sure the pit is built correctly and that the flames are not too high, but the wind is another factor when it comes to fire pits.
