Gasoline fire safety tips

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection reminds residents to properly store gasoline. Gasoline should only be stored in an approved “safety can” away from heat sources and never in the house, garage or basement.

Any spark or pilot light can quickly ignite fumes from gasoline. When invisible gasoline vapors explode, the intensity can engulf a garage with flames in seconds.

Be fire safe, not sorry!
