Backyard Fire Safety Tips

April 20th, 2011

When you are using any type of BBQ, fire place, table or pit; it is very important that you practice fire safety. The worst thing that could happen is you have an uncontrolled fire and a terrible accident can happen. Teach your family members how to properly protect themselves and your home from a fire. Children and pets should never be around an open flame. If they are it is important to have constant supervision. Lock your pets inside. In case of an accident always call 911 immediately and have your fire extinguisher close by.

Backyard Protection:

Keep firewood and stack it 30 feet away from your home. If you have storage sheds this would be a great place to keep your firewood especially when it is not going to be used for a long time. Make sure you keep your rooftop clear of debris. This includes leaves, pine needles, and other random debris that can get on top of your roof. Also, removing any tree branches or large bushes that could hang above your chimney or vents, is important so they are not in the way of any flames/sparks.

  • Keep a fire extinguisher and/or your hose close.
  • Flammable liquids should be kept a fair distance away from the fire.
  • Do not use garbage or garden waste in your fire. It creates a black smoke in the air that is toxic.
  • Fires can spit and pop embers that can catch clothing, furniture and other debris on fire. Do not wear overly large clothing and move furniture a safe distance away.

Never leave your fire unattended. Keep all matches, lighters, and torches away from children. If a fire accident happens call 911 and proceed to use your fire extinguisher if it can be extinguished on your own. It is important to let a Fire Fighter check the fire before you think you are safe. Wood can be smoldering somewhere else or embers floating around to create another fire. Always call 911 when you have a fire emergency.

What To Keep In Mind When Adding Fire Pits & Tables To Homes

March 21st, 2011

Fire pits and fire tables make great additions to patios, providing beautiful focal points and lots of warmth on cool nights. When investing in one of these hot accessories there are a number of things that homeowners should consider. Below are a few of the key points to keep in mind.

Prevailing Wind
This is something that many people don’t think about when choosing where to place fire pits. Yet, it is a very important consideration because depending on where you place a fire pit you may end up being in the path of huge amounts of smoke–making your overall experience of sitting around your pit less enjoyable. So, when placing fire pits remember to consider the prevailing wind direction in your area. Of course, the wind will not blow in that direction 100 percent of the time, but the majority of the time the wind should blow smoke away from you. In addition, investing in propane fire pits or fire tables and using fire glass instead of wood is a great idea because there will be virtually no smoke production.

The View
Along with considering the wind direction, you should also think about placing your fire pit in a location where you can see a view beyond it. Otherwise, you may find yourself sitting with your back to your fire pit when you want to enjoy the view. While fire pits are mesmerizing in themselves, being able to see a lovely view beyond them makes the experience of sitting outdoors around a warm fire extra amazing.

Fire-Fighting Tools
Anywhere there is an open fire there should also be a fire extinguisher. This is incredibly important for your safety. In addition, it is wise to have an ash bucket and other cleaning supplies to use with your fire pit or fire table in a nearby, convenient location.

Fire Codes & Zoning Laws
Before even buying a heating accessory like a fire pit or table, you must check with your local officials to see if there are any rules, regulations, or restrictions when it comes them. There may also be zoning regulations which specify where these items can be placed, how big they can be, and so on.

Oriflamme Fire Pits a Great Fit for Generation Y

January 20th, 2011

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA January 2011—-The Oriflamme Fire Table will be the perfect outdoor option for the nearly 80 million young people who make up Generation Y—those who were born between 1980 and the early 2000’s.

Why and how?

According to the Wall Street Journal, January 13, 2011, the real estate analysts at the NAHB (National Home Builder’s Association) conference in Orlando, Florida clearly indicated that Gen Y is not interested in mansions or big lawns to mow. More of them will choose to live in urban areas or urban like areas in the suburbs.

They are seeking smaller spaces, dining, and amenities within walking distance, and outdoor spaces to grill or spend time with friends.

For example, Tony Weremeichik of Canin Associates, an architecture firm in Orlando, suggested “outdoor fire pits”. He said, “Consider designing outdoor spaces as if they were living rooms.”

The Oriflamme Gas Fire Pits are the answer for Generation Y.

Unique, customizable and portable fire pits are perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings on decks or patios.

Generation Y will discover the beauty and ambiance of designed fire that truly fits their preferred lifestyle with the Oriflamme Fire Pit Table.

Fire Tables are ECO Friendly

January 13th, 2011

Real wood and artificial wood logs are rapidly being replaced by a hot accessory known as fire glass. Fire glass is a great product that is being used as an alternative to log products in fireplaces and fire pits. It also beautifully ornaments the top surface of fire tables. Read on to see why fire glass is a far better product for you to use in- or outside of your home.

Real Wood
This traditional option poses many problems for its users. It produces excess smoke and fumes, and it is a big contributor to air pollution. Above all, the particulate matter released when real wood burns is not only hazardous to the environment but also to people’s health. It is what causes runny noses, itchy eyes, and other common irritations that people experience when around smoke. In addition to this, it is vitally dangerous for people with heart and lung diseases to inhale particulate matter as it greatly aggravates these conditions.

Artificial Wood
While artificial logs are a far better choice than real wood, they are still not the most ideal product to use in fire pits or fireplaces. They produce less carbon dioxide and particulate matter, but fire glass does not produce any of these things at all. Artificial logs are made of chemicals and can be dangerous if not handled carefully. There are known cases where intense flare ups where reported if the logs were accidentally split or jabbed through the surface. They have also been known to contain asbestos fibers.

Fire Glass
In short, fire glass offers beautiful looks, diverse color and shape options, and far more safety than real or artificial wood logs. It is an Eco-friendly choice and a health-wise choice. The glass does not emit any fumes, smoke, particulate matter, soot, ash, debris, or odors. And unlike real and artificial wood, fire glass can be used for a lifetime if handled correctly. This is because it  is composed of “tempered” glass which can withstand extreme temperatures so it does not melt or discolor.

Fire glass is also a popular option because of its contemporary looks. It has the appearance of glittering jewels and when surrounded by flames its lustrous contours are highlighted. If you decide to make the switch to this product just keep in mind that it can only be used with gas units. If you have a wood burning unit you can easily have it converted to gas and then you can start picking out fire glass for your fire pit or fireplace.
