Always be prepared
for a possible fire when cooking outside, by keeping a water supply or fire
extinguisher nearby.
Use that water
supply to extinguish the fire when you’re finished cooking, sothe coals can be disposed of without being
dangerously warm.

dousing, dispose coals in a proper container. Hot coals recently buried in
sand have caused serious burns when uncovered by accident during beach
recreational activities.
