Ashes - Grill/Fireplace

Make sure to place fireplace, stove and barbecue ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Put the container outside,10 feet or more away from your home and combustibles, and wet the ashes down. Once cold, bag ashes so they do not blow away during collection (paper bag okay). For more information, go to: Cal Fire, FEMA, &/or NFPA
