Stay safe with these steps:
1. Keep mulch moist during hot, dry, and windy weather.
2. Maintain a clear zone of at least 45 cm (18 in) between mulch and your home, deck, siding, or propane tanks.
3. Spread mulch no more than 5 cm (2 in) thick to prevent heat buildup.
4. Always fully extinguish smoking materials in a deep ashtray or metal can with sand or water—never drop them in or around mulch.
Spread the word—stop mulch fires before they start.
