My friend DH smoke out side and he put out his cig. in a flower pot it blaze up at 4:00 AM. Side deck was on fire a neighbor going to work called them and they were able to put it out before it get to their house. A large part of the deck was damaged. Becareful !!!!

Another thing to watch out for is glass dishes on a wood porch or see through bowls for dogs and cats. A neighbor lost his deck and almost his home becaue of the reflection of the sun. Think magnifying glass and ants.

Well, guess we better remove our mulch from the flower beds too.
