A burning issue: smoking materials and fire risk
April 5, 2022 - 7:00am
- Safely store smoking materials up high, away from children’s reach.
- When smoking, use a deep, heavy ashtray that does not tip over to hold ashes and butts.
- Dispose of smoking materials in a metal, ceramic or glass container with a lid that has water or sand at the bottom.
- Keep disposed smoking materials a safe distance from anything combustible.
- Never discard smoking materials in vegetation, mulch, peat moss, potted plants, leaves, grasses, or other easily combustible materials.
- Douse smoking materials in water or sand to ensure they are safely out.
- Cigarettes
- Cigars
- Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), otherwise known as vape pens
- Drug paraphernalia
- Lighters and matches
In recent weeks there has been a noticeable increase in fires resulting from the improper or inadequate storage and disposal of smoking materials; this is of immediate concern to the Saskatoon Fire Department.
Residents are reminded to:
Smoking materials include, but are not limited to:
Smoking material fires are preventable fires. A dropped or improperly disposed cigarette can smoulder for hours before bursting into flames or can ignite sooner in windy conditions. Be a responsible smoker and properly put out smoking materials completely and safely, every time.
