SERVPRO® of Centre City/Uptown offers these tips for Hillcrest residents for having safe and fun, fire-damage-free outdoor recreational fires from the National Fire Protection Association:

It is important to remember that embers blowing from a backyard fire pose the same threat to your home as if they are from a wildfire.  Start with these simple steps to reduce the ignition risk, like:

• Cleaning out gutters of seasonal debris
• Clearing away leaves and needles in the 0-5 foot “immediate zone” around the house
• Moving any flammable material away from wall exteriors, like mulch, flammable plants, firewood piles
• Remove anything flammable stored underneath decks or porches

Rules for outdoor recreational fires in San Diego:

• A recreational fire of a maximum of 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height must be a minimum of 25 feet from a structure. A fire in an approved container can be no less than 15 feet from a structure. Conditions that might cause the fire to spread must be eliminated.
• The fire must be constantly attended while burning. A fire extinguisher or other extinguishing equipment shall be available to be used immediately.
• Portable outdoor fireplaces are to be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and shall not be operated within 15 feet of a structure or combustible material
