Florida fire laws and safety tips

With a chance of rain in the forecast for much of North Florida tomorrow, Jan. 2, 2011 we may experience some relief from the dry weather, but conditions being as they are and with a burn ban already in effect for several counties in Florida, this would be a good time to make sure you and your family are informed about fire laws and safety especially pertaining to outdoor fires. The Florida Division of Forestry are the ones who administer Florida’s outdoor burning and forest fire laws and their website is an excellent source of information for all things fire related. Here is a link to their site. Indoor fires are also more common during the winter months and especially during and just after the holidays. The National Fire Protection Association is another great fire safety resource with fire prevention tips for this time of year, so pay them a visit as well and have a safe and happy new year.
